Growing up in West Philadelphia, Harold Bias experienced many of the hardships our youth face today. Mr. Bias started off poor with dreams to own more. Hard work and dedication is how he turned those dreams into reality.

Harold has worked in special education for over 10 years. During that time he has held many positions such as special education teacher, behavior liaison, and contributed to development and expansion of Elwyn’s T.A.A.A.S program. Harold has extensive knowledge in developing and implementing SWPBIS in schools, as well as teaching social coping, and conflict resolution skills to students.

In August 2021, Harold will graduate with a Master’s degree in Education Leadership & Administration.
Mr. Bias founded Youth Establishing Standards, an organization dedicated to teaching life skills and coping skills to youth. The goal is to teach youth and young adults, effective coping strategies to deal with the trauma they encounter daily. Y.E.S. also teaches conflict resolution and encourage students to
understand the value of good decision making through community service and team building activities. Exposing youth to the world outside their neighborhood can be the determining factor in how they view themselves. At Y.E.S. the plan is to make youth aware that the world is bigger than their 5 mile radius.
