Who we serve

Meaningful relationships with young people.

As a non-profit agency, Harriet Tubman Community Organization is dedicated to building meaningful and developmental relationships with young people experiencing racialization between the ages of 8 and 25.

Schools, colleges and public institutions that open doors for young people.

Organizations
