The Public Service/Social Justice Committee of the Yale Alumni Association of Metropolitan New York is honored to partner with the Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ), in its quest to end poverty in Harlem and the United States. 

On March 7, 2009, select volunteers will read to toddlers (ages 1-3) and their families and also assist in devising lesson plans at the Baby College of the HCZ (lessons and books to be selected by the HCZ).  Volunteers may choose between 2 shifts (morning shift from 9:15-12:00 and afternoon shift from 12:00-3:00).

Team Leader for this Project is Ms. Rana Emerson.  Please contact Rana at This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript .

Alternatively, feel free to contact Amanda Taffy with any questions at This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript .

Below is an excerpt copied  from wikipedia.com re the HCZ:

"The Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) is a non-profit organization that targets poverty-stricken children and families living in Harlem, providing free support for the children and families in the form of parenting workshops, a pre-school program, three public charter schools, and child-oriented health programs for thousands of children and families. The HCZ is "aimed at doing nothing less than breaking the cycle of generational poverty for the thousands of children and families it serves." [2]

The ambitous Harlem Children's Zone Project has expanded the HCZ's comprehensive system of programs to nearly 100 blocks of Central Harlem and aims to keep children on track through college and into the job market. [3]

Quoting from the HCZ Project web page: "The HCZ Project began as a one-block pilot in the 1990s, then following a 10-year business plan, it expanded to 24 blocks and then 60 blocks. The goal is to serve 15,000 children and 7,000 adults by 2011. The budget for the HCZ Project for fiscal year 2009 is over $40 million, costing an average of $3,500 per child."

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are planning to create 20 Promise Neighborhoods modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone in cities across the nation.[4]

The 60 Minutes television program profiled the HCZ, including an interview with founder Geoffrey Canada, on 14 May 2006.[5]

The U.S. radio show This American Life produced an episode about the HCZ which aired on 26 September 2008 and 11 October 2008.[6]

Barack Obama announced his plan in a 2008 presidential campaign speech in Washington, D.C. to replicate the HCZ in 20 cities across the United States. Federal government would provide half of the funding with the rest coming from philanthropy and businesses at a cost of a few billion per year.[7] Mr. Obama also noted the HCZ in a 2007 campaign speech.[8]

The Wall Street Journal featured the HCZ in an article about the financial troubles experienced by this and other charitable organization in the wake of the recession.[9] The HCZ has initiated a 100-day public service campaign started on January 23, 2009 to help counteract the effects of the economic downturn.[10]

An article in the January/February 2009 issue of Mother Jones showcases Geoffrey Canada, the HCZ, and its recognition by the Obama 2008 presidential campaign and administration.[11] The author of this article (Paul Tough) published a book in August of 2008 about the HCZ titled, Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America.[12]

BRING FRIENDS, MAKE NEW FRIENDS!

THE PEARL THEATRE COMPANY is pleased to present the fourth production of its 25^th Anniversary Season; Molières riotous comedy Tartuffe.  Preview performances begin March 17, 2009. Opening night is March 30, 2009.

This wickedly gleeful comedy offers the story of the hypocritical Tartuffe and his designs on the affluent (and painfully gullible) Orgon.  Orgons family must find a way to break Tartuffes hold on them before they lose everything and it wont be easy.  In THE PEARL THEATRE COMPANY'S production of Tartuffe, Molières madcap dance of cunning plans and comic irrationality, the question is: what will win the day blind faith or common sense?

More about the Play

Tartuffe was first presented in 1664 at the court of King Louis XIV at Versailles and was promptly banned for its audacious attack on religious hypocrisy.  It invites us into a lush and fashionable world endangered by deceit and the ridiculous.  And while this scathing satire skewers false moralists and those unfortunate enough to follow them, Tartuffe also offers the hope that goodness and truth can save anyone if only theyll agree to be saved.

About The Pearl Theatre Company

The Pearl [serves] as an intimate outlet for the presentation of important works, both famous and obscureit may be as crucial to the future of New York theatre as any of the larger companies uptown; it is a caretaker of the legacy.

-Peter Marks, The New York Times

An OBIE Award-winning company, The Pearl has produced five mainstage productions each year since 1984, displaying international variety and theatrical excellence, firmly rooted in the classical canon.Our goal is to bring the audience to the world of the play, rather than mold the play to the confines of modern idiom. The Pearl Theatre Company is an Off-Broadway classical theatre that nurtures an ongoing resident company of actors, a structure which is both important and rare.  The Pearl believes that a resident company, made up of a cohesive and experienced community of actors, is best equipped to keep vital our rich tradition and to keep fresh the wisdom, wit, and craft of the classics. As founding Artistic Director, Shepard Sobel explains, The Pearl produces a classical repertory because the great plays of the last 2500 years provide a context, a perspective, by which we here in America in 2008 may see ourselves more clearly.  We can and have an obligation to design the strength and character of the future only by knowing the character of the past.

In honor of the Museum's new exhibition, Stoops of Manhattan--Railings & Shadows, join the artist Andrew Berrien Jones (Yale Law, 1985), in a discussion of the stylistic history of cast-iron architectural decorations and the preservation issues they present, with Richard Pieper, Director of Preservation, Jan Hird Pokorny Associates, Inc.: Diana Waite, expert on the ornamental ironwork of Albany and Troy; and moderator Alex Herrera, Director, New York Landmarks Conservancy.  Co-sponsored by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation; The Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America: and the New York Landmarks Conservacy.

 The Class of '57 Music Education Project and the School of Music is proud to present a new project working with tutoring...an appreciation and understanding of music and art is required.  VOLUNTEERS MUST BE FINALIZED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK!!  A description is provided below:

"3 phases: (1) pre-gallery visits, (2) gallery visits & (3) 1 follow-up visit. I've attached the schedule here and have taken take of transportation--I'll get you to and from the school. In the first phase (before April 15), we go to the school and spend 1 hour just prepping the kids. What is color in music? What's color in art? How do you explain that to a 4th grader? Maybe you perform, maybe we use flashcards. Maybe we interact with them. How do you create mood? These are the kind of questions we'll address, and there's no set way to do it. It's up to you. We just need to get them trained with a basic artistic/music vocabulary. On April 15 and 16, these guys come to the Yale Center for British Art. I've already picked out the paintings we'll go through and we just take them around and do different activities. Maybe one painting we use to use how color is used as a way to show mood. Maybe in another one (there's one of Noah's Arc that I think I'll use), we perform something that has the same effect as the painting--fear or worry. And at the end of the day, the main idea they should take away is that there is a universality to it. That 3rd phase, the follow-up visit is another trip to the school to just wrap up and reflect.

Let me emphasize that there's no need to come to every single visit. Even if you can make 1 that's great. Also note that because of the funding I've gotten, any participant will be paid $20/hour. Because I need to finalize things though, I need to have a confirmation of who can come when by the end of next week at the latest."

In this multi-award-winning documentary, fifteen-year-old Darius Weems and eleven of his best friends set off across America with the ultimate goal of getting his wheelchair customized on MTV;s Pimp My Ride. The result is a rarely seen testament to the explosive idealism of today's youth, as well as a vivid portrayal of adventure, of brotherhood, and of the character and strength it takes to shed light on an uncertain future.
