Mission: Providing a Way for Those Who Demonstrate the Will
The Harmony Foundation for Children exists to break down the barriers between need and assistance by providing direct financial support to at-risk or in-need youth whose record of personal responsibility, dedication and achievement is imperiled by circumstances or events beyond their control. In particular, the Harmony Foundation for Children works to enhance philanthropy and strengthen our sense of community by providing help to those underprivileged children whose own families cannot.

SightSeeing: Neighborhood Based Learning:
 | Students in an environmental literacy project called "SiteSeeing: Neighborhood Based Learning," join Kathy Swett, executive director of the Sonoma Community Center, and Steve Ledson, president of Ledson Enterprises and the Harmony Foundation for Children, which helped fund the program, partnering with the Sonoma Valley Vintners and Growers Alliance to make it possible. The Sonoma Community Center is sponsoring the program, which will be taught at Altimira and Adele Harrison middle schools, Sonoma Charter School, the Waldorf School and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley. SiteSeeing is an interdisciplinary curriculum for middle school students that teaches them how to see, read and think critically about the built and natural environments. The intent is to empower youth to claim ownership of, and take responsibility for their communities. Pictured from left are participating students Maribel Campos, 11, from Altimira Middle School, Ismael Torres, 12, from Altimira, Rayza Virgen, 12, from Adele Harrison Middle School and Deanna Cobleigh, 11, from Altimira. |
