The Harrisburg Human Justice Forum is a showcase of dozens of the most respected local organizations with the intent of connecting people who want to make Harrisburg a better place with a diverse array of opportunities to do so.
Organizations represented at the forum will have information about what they do, and how you can get involved to bring about positive change in fields such as education and mentoring, racial reconciliation, food and housing efforts, the support of community health clinics, preservation and beautification projects, advocacy, and so on.
This grassroots effort will include a panel discussion of problems facing Harrisburg and ways we can all pull together to solve them. Panel members are all experts in their fields.
There will be live music and refreshments.
This forum will be the best chance this year for the people of the Harrisburg area to learn about the many opportunities we have to make Harrisburg a brighter, healthier and happier community.
Organizations that wish to participate should contact the organizers of the event.
