Mission Statement
Harbor House transforms lives by empowering families and youth facing complex challenges in Oakland to live more stable, productive lives.
About This Cause
Harbor House Ministries inspires children and families in Oakland to build healthy relationships with God and community through educational, spiritual and economic programs. Since 1972, Harbor House has served more than 100,000 under-resourced children and families through programs and services that nurture the heart, soul, mind and body. We offer an after-school tutoring program for elementary students, a youth leadership/internship program for middle school and high school students, emergency food and clothing distribution, a community thrift store, English as a Second Language classes, and economic development opportunities for women such as quilting and jewelry making. Harbor House is located in the San Antonio district of Oakland, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Oakland. The children in our elementary after-school program primarily attend Franklin Elementary School where 83.2% of students are eligible for free and reduced lunch and 59.5% of students are English Language Learners. The teens in our Youth Leadership Program primarily come from Oakland High, Fremont High, and Life Academy. Our youth reflect the beautiful diversity of Oakland. We have refugee families from Iraq, Congo, and Burma, as well as recent immigrants from Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Eritrea, Sri Lanka, and more. We serve approximately 900 people each year through our food distribution, after-school, summer, adult education, and holiday assistance programs. The teens in the Youth Leadership Program help run our after-school program for elementary students. Harbor House staff offer support, guidance, and training to the teens and in turn, they pour energy and love into the younger children in our program.
