So what is Lets Thrive Baltimore?
A Youth-led Organization, founded in 2016 with the mission to provide holistic community support, strategies, and awareness for families impacted by trauma in Baltimore City. We envision a Baltimore that is thriving for youth and families.
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.
