Shora's Initiatives

Shora, under the leadership of Tinka Harper, works every day to provide a safe environment and place where young people can grow into the future of our communities like East Knoxville. For our volunteers and donors, it is a love to see a struggling child transition into our future leaders. Every child is valuable and worth the investment of time, learning resources, and emotional development activities. Shora helps children learn development skills with other children in a safe environment.

Some of the ways Shora achieves the kind of success that impacts Lives and Transforms communities is through Initiatives. To list a few of these initiatives are:

Academic Achievement

Testimonials

"I thank God for the opportunity to express to Shora Foundation [and others] for bringing my grandbaby to a point where she made 2nd Honors. The Shora Foundation afterschool program, Tanika Harper, and her wonderful, caring staff to put the icing on the cake. Shora is not only a safe environment but a loving, home, study-based environment.”

Gail J.

“Shora Foundation has been a blessing in so many ways. When my other childcare provider closed I had no clue what I would do for child care. Shora provides transportation, they stay open until 6 and it is affordable. Thank you so much to Tanika Harper and her staff for all that you do.”
