Mentorship

​

Our mentorship programs place young men and women with adults that can help them grow in specific areas, as well as assisting them maneuver through some of the challenges they may face. This program caters to children ages XX-XX. It is our belief  that sometimes children just need extra support and guidance along the way. Our mentor program is individual based, meaning we do not have a one size fits all mentality when in comes to assigning mentors and mentees.

Baltimore School and Parks Initiative

​

We have partnered up with various Baltimore County schools and recreational centers to create and manage after school programing for children ages xx-xx. Through these programs we are able to see first hand what the children are lacking and where we can fill a void.  For many, school is a place of refuge from their home and or life, and our goal is to be able to provide a safe place that helps foster growth,a sense of community, and proactivity. Aside from making sure children continued to receive breakfast and lunch during COVID-19, we have continued to build and maintained the relationships with each child we encounter. Our programs do not end with he school year. We collaborate with our community engagement teams to help school, and parent provide safe places for this children to not only learn but also interact with one another.
