Twenty years ago Harmony Community Development Corporation (Harmony CDC) was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2001 by Concord Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. E. K. Bailey. We were organized to stimulate the development of affordable housing, create business ownership and employment opportunities, combat crime, increase social services, and provide other charitable and educational services in our community. Fast forward to today, Harmony CDC has become a catalyst for transforming communities to become whole and empowered.
Although the COVID-19 Pandemic has required us to pivot from a year of reflection and festivities to the critical work at hand, we have not lost sight of the fact that there is still much to celebrate, and when we can, safely, we will!
Join us for a virtual experience as we celebrate 20 years and many more to come!

Serve our community and help empower the next generation.
We are recruiting committed role models to encourage our students, hold them accountable and guide them to achieve their goals. We are seeking mentors who are ready to "lift as they climb".
Mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunities. The objective of the mentorship component of the YES Program is to match the participant with someone that can help them to identify and achieve career goals and to identify and correct gaps in generic skills and knowledge. The hope is that long-term connections can be made to sustain the gains of participation in the YES program.
The minimum commitment for mentoring is the full duration of the six week program cohort and our hope is for a mentor to walk with a child for a lifetime.
It is important that we are thoughtful in the matches we make between a child and a volunteer who could potentially have a profound effect on the child’s life. Due to this, our potential mentor intake process is robust.
