Harambee Ministries

Harambee Power Talk is a program dedicated to conversations with students around topics that are meant to challenge unhealthy belief systems and thought patterns. Through focused, in-class intervention techniques, we empower students to achieve scholastic success, develop good character, and inspire leadership by addressing the social-emotional needs of our students from a culturally relevant perspective.

Harambee seeks to nurture and equip our participants in a way that will holistically serve the community, in order to achieve the rebuilding of urban neighborhoods. We accomplish this through many different initiatives, however, for the sake of this grant we will highlight two programs: “After the Bell” (safe after school programming) and “Power Talk” (gang intervention and SEL speciality class). These programs are provided to at-risk students referred to our programs because of their high likelihood of suspension.
