So what is Lets Thrive Baltimore?
We are a Youth-led Adult partnership Organization, founded in 2016 with the mission to provide Holistic Community Support, Strategies, and Awareness for families impacted by trauma in Baltimore City. We build leaders through our Ambassadorship and Jr Ambassadorship program, that exposes our leaders to Conflict Resolution, Public Speaking, Managing Mental Health, Navigating Safe Dating, Financial literacy, Workforce Development, and more. We believe that through supporting youth and families in Baltimore, We can be a thriving Baltimore !
So what does Lets Thrive Baltimore do?
We have served over 9,000 individuals each year during our events such as the Christmas, and Back Pack Giveaway. We run projects including mentoring, job programs, facilitating Youth Committees that Tackle Gun-violence, Human Trafficking, and host support groups for our youth and their families; financial literacy, career consulting, and therapeutic programs for families; housing, rental, and cash assistance for survivors of violence; and cleaning and greening projects in the city.
We began serving 1,000 meals a day in Baltimore when the COVID-19 outbreak began and secured funding to continue that service until December 2022.
