Terra Harris
Terra’s from Maryland-Baltimore, a proud graduate of Baltimore City Public
School System (her alma mater is Mervo-Tech High School) as well as an honorable member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated-until the day she closes her eyes the last time!
She’s had the pleasure of serving as the executive leader for youth and housing focused organizations. Terra shares her early career experiences solidified her commit to impactfully support communities in her career assignments as well volunteering focuses. Terra is fully committed to leading organizations where the mission is focused on serving and supporting communities which creates positive impacts.
Terra’s family is her life, they are large in number, filled with heaps of love and keeps her grounded. She is also an avid runner especially completing 5K’s because they allow her to decompress. If she isn’t running she’s likely cycling the trails and exploring nature. Additionally, in her spare time she enjoys traveling and entertaining (she lives to cook…she just doesn’t have a lot of spare time), the larger the group the better. Another interest includes DIY decorating and shows… ask Terra about some of her creations, her love of all the HGTV, Food Network, and DIY channels and the like.
Terra holds the following degrees: an Associate of Arts; a Bachelor of Science; and Master of Science.
Two of her favorite quotes are from Marian Wright Edelman:
Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.
Never work just for money or for power. They won’t save your soul or help you sleep at night.
Terra is excited to leverage skills in staff training and development, community relationship building, board development, fundraising and strategy planning to help Teach, Reach and Keep youth on the path to success.
