Sharing Web Resources

I went through the website I chose and unfortunately they do not provide any outside links to any other resources. The only outside links I notices were for New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times to read reviews they had on this organization. Unfortunately, I have not received a newsletter from the organization. I hope to receive one before the end of the course. 

One area that I researched thoroughly was the family, community, and health tab on the Harlem Children Zone website. This tab talks about the different programs that is offered to the families and the surrounding community to help prevent poverty and educate them as well as their children. One program is called community pride, it helps tenants and block associations helping hundreds convert city-owned buildings into tenant-owned co-ops. This program helps get people off the street and hopefully eliminate homelessness. They also have a program called single stop. Single stop is a program to help reduce poverty. Single stop is free of charge and it offers families with advice about securing public benefits, access to legal guidance, financial advice, debt relief counseling, and domestic crisis. Another program is the Harlem Children Zone Asthma Initiative. This program works with asthmatic children and their families to learn to manage the disease and lessen its effects. They also have an obesity initiative program to help children and their families reverse the alarming trend toward obesity and the health problems that may occur.  They also have a program for the mental health of the families in the community. The program provides access to mental health professionals and therapeutic intervention. The program also offers anger management training for parents, children, and people in the community.

I saw a podcast about a program they have called Harlem Gems this program is an all-day pre-kindergarten program that gets children ready to enter kindergarten. The class teach English, Spanish, and French. I look forward to watching this video at a later time.
