How you can help...       

Center for Champions targets low-income, inner-city families. We do not charge the parents for their children's participation in our program, other than a small quarterly commitment donation from each family.  We depend on the financial support of individuals, churches, and businesses to help us reach out to these families. We are not a government sponsored program but a private nonprofit 501c3 faith based organization. This community support is absolutely necessary and greatly appreciated. This enables our program to continue to reach children, teens, single parents, and families of inner-city Harrisburg and Steelton with the love of God.  

Support us with your time...

  • Tutoring Program: Every Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:15 we need volunteers to work with students in various grade levels.  Please contact either Linda Semke or Kirsten Ware at the Center (717.232.9675)
  • After School Program :  This program meets Monday's through Thursdays from 4:00 to 6:00.  Volunteers are needed for homework help and supervision during this time.  Please contact Richie Lewis at the Center (717.232.9675)

 Support us by being an intern ...       

Our executive director has a MSW and we currently have a couple interns from local colleges.  If you are interested in an intership please contact us.

 Support us financially...

We are a Christian ministry and often have had to turn down some government grants that would help our ministry pay bills and staff, but would have significantly limited our ability to talk about our faith, the most important part of our ministry!  Help us to continue this ministry.

Send support checks to our approved, 501c3 nonprofit organization: 

  Center for Champions
  113 S. 13th St.
  Harrisburg, PA 17104

 This is a tax deductible donation.

Support us with prayer...

  • For our families and children- that God would use us to teach them about His love and to help fulfill spiritual, physical, and emotional needs.
  • For wisdom for our staff and volunteers in dealing with various situations. 
  • For more volunteers and financial support for our ministry.

Support us with your resources...

  • We are currently in need of a mini bus in good working condition

Thank you for all of your much appreciated support!
