WE ARE OHANA OF HOWARD COUNTY

Empower Howard County students

so they overcome barriers and achieve self-defined success.

Our community becomes more inclusive

as we build relationships with people who are outside our normal social circles.

With diverse teams of mentors, vulnerable Howard County high school students are provided with tools to reach their educational potential and become successful community members; segregation and isolation are reduced for all.

Diversity fuels the spirit of OhanaHC. Each student is paired with four diverse mentors who partner with them to develop strategies for success with a combination of resources and opportunities. 

Our commitment to inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience strengthens us every day.  Everyone is valued and celebrated for who they are and what they can share with OhanaHC and the community. Deep, long lasting relationships are forged; segregation and isolation are reduced for all.
