Program Director

Overview

Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) — a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York — seeks an enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned Program Director for our Promise Academy I Teen After School Program.

The Program Director will bring a passion for HCZ's mission: breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty through comprehensive, on-the-ground programming that creates opportunities for children and families to thrive in school, work, and life.

The Program Director will join our Promise Academy I Teen After-School program, closely supporting and working in tandem with the Assistant Director to lead the site. These programs provide hundreds of students in grades 6-12 with a safe, nurturing, and educational environment that fosters self-confidence, personal and social development. Students are exposed to a variety of fun-filled, project-based learning, developmental, and high-caliber enrichment activities, including arts enrichment (e.g., dance, culinary arts, and media arts and production), as well as health & wellness and physical fitness.

Additionally, scholars participate in leadership development, college & career readiness, and life skills activities, including community service, character education, conflict resolution, and much more. They can also engage in a variety of team sports and recreational activities, such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, cheerleading, flag football, table tennis, track & field, lacrosse, and karate.
