ABOUT US.
The Narrative Changers.
The people closest to the problems are also closest to the solutions. We focus on empowering individuals within our communities to help reestablish strong, positive leadership that has been missing. By positioning community members as mentors and “narrative changers,” and equipping them with access to resources and opportunities, we strengthen the foundation of our neighborhoods.
In our mentoring program, we build meaningful connections with youth by genuinely caring about their well-being and offering them better options for growth and success.
We provide several programs designed to support youth development in key areas such as life skills, character building, workforce readiness, and emotional wellness — including one-to-one mentoring, an extended day program, a jobs program, and referrals for mental health services.

The G.R.O.W. Program (dba for The Harbor Group Association) is a non-profit mentoring organization that focuses on character-building and life skills for youth ages 9 to 17. Our goal is to raise funds for a company van, jobs program “Learn to Earn” and our financial literacy program “Cash App Classroom”. We have never had a grant or any institutional funding. We have leveraged special events to fund our vision. We would love your support so that we can continue implementing programs to enrich the lives of youth in the community. We Sincerely Appreciate your donation!

The G.R.O.W. Program helped me develop a consistent fitness and nutrition routine. Financial literacy programs like the “CashApp Classroom” provided me with valuable knowledge to build a strong financial foundation. I also learned how to trade stocks from older mentees in the program, which expanded my understanding of investing and money management.
Being surrounded by mentors and witnessing their sense of brotherhood gave me pride and motivation to grow. Those experiences prepared me for my journey at Morehouse College, where I am now a proud alumnus.
