About Us: Harlem Empowerment Project is a school-based organization located in Harlem and the Bronx. We work through the public schools and other community organizations to offer career and education services for all adults in the community. Classes are created on an as-needed basis and typically meet in public schools during the school day. Most of our students are parents living in Harlem and the South Bronx, many of whom are seeking better jobs and need to advance their education and/or improve their English language skills. We hold ESL classes for a wide range of levels, from Basic Adult Literacy to High Intermediate; GEDHSE/TASC preparation; job-skills classes and workshops (computer literacy, etc.); and career counseling and job placement.
