Urban Concern is excited to announce that Harambee School is expanding!

Harambee expansion

This summer, we will finish construction on the 7,000 feet of unfinished space on the second floor. In late August, we will add sixth grade with the hope of adding seventh and eighth grades in subsequent school years. We are excited to provide for our students during one of the most vulnerable and volatile times in their lives. And we are confident that adding middle school at Harambee will help us to fulfill our mission to break the cycle of poverty and to empower young people to lead.

We are extremely grateful to Ariel Corporation for their generous contribution of $135,000 to kick off the campaign. Our goal is to raise the remaining $190,000.

Please contact Alex Steinman at  614.291.0885 x 120 or steinmanal@urbanconcern.org if you or someone you know might be interested in contributing to this exciting project.
