Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) — a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York — seeks an enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned Career Services Specialist to join our Wealth Builds team.

The Career Services Specialist will bring a passion for Harlem Children's Zone's mission: breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty through comprehensive, on-the-ground programming that builds opportunities for children and families to thrive in school, work, and life.

Wealth Builds is an innovative effort to eliminate the wealth gap through nine evidence-based pillars beginning in Harlem and ultimately expanding to up to 10 cities nationwide. Our theory of action is that cradle-to-career services plus capital lead to social and economic mobility. Through Wealth Builds, we are providing financial education and capital infusions to increase social, financial, and human capital, ultimately generating wealth for our youth.

This role will sit on the Wealth Builds team, a high-priority strategic initiative at HCZ focused on creating pathways to social and economic mobility. The Career Specialist will possess strong knowledge of career development and the necessary skills to be successful in the job search and on the job. This candidate will know how to build strong relationships and will be the primary point of contact for participants working with the Career Services team. The Career Specialist will also oversee the recruiting process for the Harlem Children’s Zone Career Exploration Program (internships for college students) and other internships with strategic corporate partners.
