Harlem Educational Activities Fund Inc

Heaf's middle school programming, high expectations, provides experiential learning, instruction in math and ela, and prepares students for the competitive nyc high school admissions process. Programming runs after school 4 days each week and for several weeks during the summer.

Heaf's youth development program transcends the idea of a traditional academic classroom and is instead a space that recognizes the student as the expert of their own experience and promotes the sharing of one's thoughts, feelings, and ideas. The program offers opportunities for leadership development, character building, career exploration, and service-learning activities. All students in our middle and high school programming also attended youth development classes.

Organizational activities-professional staff must model a high standard of excellence, responsibility in their interactions with students, families, and colleagues. Collaborative partnerships with families are integral to student success. In addition to professional development of our staff, organizational activities, include general activities supporting communications, alumni and volunteer initiatives.
