Greetings!



I am honored that you have chosen to visit our website to learn more about the role of NCBW within the greater Harrisburg community.  Our mission is: “To advocate on behalf of black women and girls to promote leadership development and gender equity in the areas of health, education and economic empowerment.”


NCBW Inc., is a long-standing non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization in existence since 1981; to date there are 64 chapters with over 3,000 members. 


The Harrisburg Chapter has been serving the greater Harrisburg community since 2012.   We represent a group of women with a shared goal to empower and enhance the lives of women by focusing on advocacy in the areas of education, health, economic empowerment and gender inequality.  NCBW Inc. - Harrisburg Chapter has made an impact on over 10,000 women and families in the greater Harrisburg area through our signature advocacy programs designed to be transformative


It is my privilege to represent the NCBW Inc., Harrisburg Chapter as President.  It is my desire that the Harrisburg Chapter of NCBW continues to build on National initiatives, develop meaningful programs, promote leadership and remain committed to advocacy.  Although, we are making great strides, there is still a lot of work yet to be done to bridge disparity gaps.


With our goal to educate and empower women, we are a greater force together!  We are always looking for a few good professional like-minded women to join hands with us to tackle long standing issues.  Take a moment to review our events and get involved pages to see how you can become involved with supporting our advocacy events and/or becoming a member.


Please consider adding NCBW Harrisburg Chapter to your charitable giving to support our advocacy and programs.  As a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization and your contribution to our mission are tax deductible.  We are truly grateful to each supporter for assisting us in making our community programs possible.

Best regards,


Charla Plaines, President
