Changing the Odds

In Harlem, Geoffrey Canada and his organization, Harlem Children's Zone, have changed the odds for impoverished children in a struggling neighborhood. Through a comprehensive set of services--which includes charter schools, parenting education programs, after-school activities, and programs to help manage health conditions such as asthma and obesity, and other social services--they have achieved successful children who have a better vision of their future.
