Overview
Harlem Educational Activities Fund (HEAF) is a comprehensive supplemental education and youth development organization that works to help motivated students develop the intellectual curiosity, academic ability, social values, and personal resilience they need to ensure success in school, career, and life.

Our High Expectations (Middle School) program works with sixth to eighth-grade students, their families, and their communities to enrich academics and youth leadership through after-school and weekend programs. High Expectations integrates academic enrichment and experiential learning, beginning with the students’ preparation for admission to public high schools in New York City’City’ and progressing to college preparation.
