About This Cause
Highland Haven is nonprofit organization that is designed to primarily provide education, mentorship, and youth development, promoting health and wellness. We also endeavor to help those who may be struggling with addiction to drugs and alcohol. Finally we strive to combat recidivism. Highland Haven serves distressed communities in North/Northeast Portland with several different social service programs. Highland Haven is a non-profit organization focused on educating and empowering youth. Highland Haven transforms the lives of promising youth and their families through dynamic collaborative programs which create a safe environment of self directed and empowered individuals. The mission and goals of the Haven is to educate and empower, helping youth reach their potential to become self-directing and autonomous adults. Johnson Scholarship Fund Johnson Family Scholarship Program is designed to provide educational resources to those qualified individuals at Highland Christian Center who are seeking higher education. The program was started by the late Rev. Sam Johnson Sr., Mother Opal Johnson, Dr. Richard Johnson and Mr. Wilmar Elliot and thus is named in honor of Pastor and Mrs. Johnson. We also provide an incentive for students who excel academically and recognize promotions from middle school and graduates from high school and college and universities. Highland Youth Leadership Academy (HYLA) The Highland Youth Leadership Academy is designed to teach pride, leadership, and self-worth. Our endeavor in HYLA is to teach respect, dignity, cultural pride, and self-esteem to all of our youth who participate. We will stress the importance of higher education, financial independence, and entrepreneurialism. We want to create an atmosphere that equips young women and men to be the best they can be in our society. Highland Access, Reentry and Recovery Program (HARRP) HARRP was established at Highland United Church of Christ in Northeast Portland in December 2009 by a group of men and women wanting to make a difference in the lives of people getting out of prison. Most of these individuals had been in prison themselves. Many are now acting as professional drug and alcohol counselors or mentors, putting their experience to work to change lives. HARRP provides transitional services to formerly incarcerated persons and their families in order to increase public safety and awareness, empower families and strengthen the community. Highland Youth Project Empowerment (HYPE) Highland Youth Project Empowerment is designed to encourage our youth in the area of entrepreneurialism. The youth runs the Holy Ground Café at Highland. They learn management, leadership, accountability, and business practices while serving the Highland community. It is our hope that this endeavor will lead to increased educational awareness and business acumen and thus entrepreneurialism with our youth. The program is self-sustaining and uses grants for equipment and training.
