Harmonious Volunteer Center - Let's Talk House. Issues and Problems that are addressed with solutions.
1. Our mission statement is: “The Harmonious Volunteer Center provides “Community Service; Volunteer Training Systems; and Assistance To Community Based Organizations”.
2. Our perception (Community Service) is neighbor helping neighbor and our organization is available to anyone in the country who makes written request for assistance. We will do what we can, with what we have, and make no promises to anyone.
3. Our perception (Volunteer Training Systems) We have the desire to produce the best qualified volunteer within our organization in order meet with whatever the situation may be, therefore, we train all of our volunteers concerning our policies, procedures, methods, etc.
4. Our perception (Assistance To Community Based Organizations) Community Based Organizations and nonprofit organizations have requested our assistance on many occasions and we have been able to comply, however, when assisting other organizations, it may be necessary for the volunteers of the HVC to comply with their rules, regulations, etc. We bring additional resources and meet with the needs and or desires of other organizations.
The Harmonious Volunteer Center works to assist community based organizations with projects that work toward the achievement of peaceful, just and equitable reltionships among people. Our organization believes that being strongly rooted in local communities will bring about the change in values needed to establish a more just and peaceful world. Our organization works with the importance of building movements to create systemic social change and the transformation of society. We recognize young people’s ability to reshape our society athletically, educationally, and culturally as a vital force in the transformation of society.
Our organization is committed to supporting organizations and projects that recognize an appreciation of both the diversity and unity of the human family. While the Harmonious Volunteer Center strives to build equitable relationships-with our fellow human beings and with the natural environment of organization becomes creative in finding needed solutions to critical issues within our common society.
Evidence that some of the institutional and structural causes of injustice, whether physical, social or economic remain largely intact. These causes have created increasing incidences of violent crimes, increasing poverty and unemployment. It is our challenge in locating those causes and developing community based alternatives that promote a more just, nonviolent society which is at the heart of our commitment to serve.
To bring about positive and progressive actions necessary for immediate change, the Harmonious Volunteer Center introduces the BUILDING OF UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS by creating NEW (State of the Arts) COMMUNITY CENTERS in urban settings that can serve a large population and have a meaningful impact upon the lives of the participants. OUR MISSION is to “PROVIDE COMMUNITY SERVICE; VOLUNTEER TRAINING SYSTEMS; AND ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITY BASED ORGANZIATIONS”.
Our organization’s interest in working with the building of a new community center at Chalmers Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is estimated to cost approximately two million dollars which means that our organization must produce a revenue stream of approximately $5,555.00 per day to meet a twelve month time line. This would accommodate the constructional costs as well as the creation of a minimum of twenty paid volunteer positions. The results of the efforts will produce accommodations of services and programs that impacts 500,000 citizens directly with residual effects as well. This effort includes: planning, one time construction costs, paid staffing for ten years, and facility maintenance costs.
