Harold Rice

In this inspiring episode, Harold Rice shares his personal journey from growing up in Charlotte to leading one of Lake Norman’s most impactful nonprofits. As CEO of the Ada Jenkins Center, Harold explains how his background in social work and deep ties to the community have shaped his passion for service.

Harold walks us through the center’s five core programs—education, economic mobility, homelessness outreach, healthy initiatives, and asset building—and unpacks urgent issues facing our community, including food insecurity and the lack of diverse price point housing.

He also discusses exciting initiatives like the development of affordable housing on the center’s campus, the launch of a mobile services bus, and the power of community partnerships.
