What the HCZ does is first recognize that the amelioration of poverty does not begin and end with an excellent education, but also requires a full belly, parental education, safety, advocacy, and the expectation that every student will succeed. We help parents and kids through the system, HCZ founder Geoffrey Canada says. We get them past every hindrance put in their way, whether it be at home or with social services. We can advocate on a child s behalf, whether it be at home or in the classroom or with the juvenile justice system.
Indeed, the HCZ starts early: it provides new parents with a Baby College to teach parenting skills during the crucial first three years of a child s life and a preschool Gems program, where kids learn not only French and Spanish but healthy eating habits to combat childhood obesity.
The Zone also offers the HCZ Asthma Initiative to provide medical care and education to families, thus drastically cutting down on the number of school days missed by students suffering from asthma . And it has a network of afterschool programs that teach media literacy, karate , and computer skills. It s called the pipeline once families enter, it s hoped that they ll stay until their child graduates from college. The idea is to create a safety net woven so tightly that kids can t slip through.
