WELCOME TO THE HARRISBURG HOUSING AUTHORITY'S SUMMER GROWTH PROGRAM
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF URBAN TEEN EXCELLENCE
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF URBAN TEEN EXCELLENCE
The backbone of our city is the energy generated from our playgrounds and parks. Every year we revitalize and beautify our city playgrounds and parks.
Our teens set an example for the importance of keeping their community clean by cleaning the neighborhoods of Harrisburg everyday for five weeks during the summer.
The Learning Lunch Program provides a healthy education to our teens regarding the importance of healthy eating. The teens learn healthy eating habits, restaurant etiquette, and experience different cultures of food. The program was designed to give back to City owned restaurants.
Our Occupational Speakers' Program is designed to share life leadership skills and career opportunities with our inner city teens.
Chesapeake Bay Foundation introduced canoeing to the ETC.
The Food Bank Corporation educated the ETC on the importance of preparing and cooking their own meals.
The Urban Garden committee teamed up with the ETC to help keep up with the maintenance of our urban gardens
The Departmental of Environmental Protection shared potential career options with ETC.
The ETC mission is to keep their community clean.
ETC not only pick up trash, but they also keep the sidewalks weeded and beautiful.
The Environmental Teen Corp is lead by 14 highly gifted mentors.
