Congratulations to United in Harmony on winning the Lakers Youth Foundation January 2025 YOU Grant Contest!
Mission Statement:
United in Harmony’s mission is to provide children experiencing poverty with hope and opportunities. United in Harmony’s overnight-camp program (Camp Harmony) is designed to help children develop positive self-esteem and to thereby inspire and empower campers in their future endeavors. At Camp Harmony, children grow through interactions with teenage and adult role models while experiencing nature, exploring arts, sports, and an array of other enriching activities.
Funding Project:
Camp Harmony’s Summer 2025 program empowers underserved youth through a transformative camp experience that builds confidence, resilience, and teamwork. Our expanded sports programming will give campers the opportunity to engage in basketball, soccer, and other athletic activities that foster leadership, collaboration, and personal growth. Through the power of sports at camp, children develop essential life skills, build meaningful friendships, and gain a sense of belonging in a supportive environment. Funding will ensure that every camper has access to these experiences at no cost, creating lasting impacts that extend far beyond their time at camp.
