Our Three Goals
Discipleship
We define discipleship as intentional programming that points students to know and follow Jesus for a lifetime.
Over the years, discipleship has looked different at Harambee depending on the season. In 2023, recognizing a need to be in the culture, but not a part of it, our witness is more subversive than before.

We are blessed to be able to partner with Pasadena Unified School District to have two of our programs be based out of public schools. As such, there is a strict, “no proselytizing” rule that we must abide by in efforts to be a good neighbor.
Therefore, most of our discipleship happens by our students experiencing the Hands and Feet of Jesus before we ever utter the name of Jesus.

On the other hand, we also have some programming on site at Harambee’s Community Center, and when students are here, we are free to encourage them in the faith as we see fit.

Scholarship
We define Scholarship as academic study or achievement; learning of a high level. We recognize that in our neighborhood there are educational disparities and we desire to close that gap through specific and targeted programming.

Leadership
We agree with McKinsey & Company in defining Leadership.
Leadership is a set of behaviors used to help people align their collective direction, to execute strategic plans, and to continually renew an organization.
When we give our scholars the opportunity to lead, we give them the opportunity to see in themselves something that they maybe didn’t see before. We teach them that they have a voice and that they have something incredibly valuable to contribute to the world.
We focus on social-emotional learning to teach emotional awareness and intelligence tools that will serve them throughout their lives.
