Statistics

2007 STATISTICS

The Harlem Children Society may have begun in New York City, but like the city itself – its roots extend to every hemisphere on our planet. Almost 80% of the program's participants in 2006 are first and second generation immigrants to the United States, coming from over 40 countries to participate in the grand experiment we call the American dream. A true ‘United Nations’!

From Peru to the Philippines, Cambodia to Croatia, Egypt to Ecuador, these students and their parents traveled to the United States to become a part of our nation's fabric. Of this 80%, about half are the children of immigrants who settled in the 1970s and 1980s, and the other half left their countries themselves between 1990 and 2004. Of the remainder- children of older American roots - half are Native Americans participating in our program on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, and another third are from African American families.

It is this, that we celebrate in our universal goal – of building a world community; striving through education, carving a dream, and reaching for the stars; of a global humanity, striving hard to be true global citizens – trying to help one another, and help make our world a better place – a village – a global village – our Harlem!
