Deep Impact

Serving over 7,600 children and teens and 1,000 adults and families each year at 23 program sites, SCAN-Harbor is the largest youth service provider in Harlem, East Harlem, and the South Bronx.

Traditional youth and family service providers typically target their clients’ problems and then terminate program delivery at the resolution of the presenting problem. SCAN-Harbor considers the traditional “service termination” as a “beginning”!

Diverse Programs

With programs as diverse as early childhood education, substance abuse treatment, violence prevention, performing arts, literacy programs, LGBTQ support, afterschool activities and events, employment skills training, and youth leadership, SCAN-Harbor’s positive approach builds on individual, family, and group strengths.

Empowerment-Focused

We employ an empowerment-focused service approach, inspiring our children and their families to achieve positive goals.

An essential illustration of this methodology may be seen in SCAN-Harbor’s relationship with its employees: over 50% of SCAN-Harbor’s employees are community residents who have been recipients of service, or are parents of children who are currently receiving services. By employing SCAN-Harbor participants, the agency concretely demonstrates our faith and confidence in the inherent capacities of the community members we serve.
