The Roots of Our Mission
Rajan, Henry and Paula began working with Mary-Catherine, their 1st Grade teacher, on service initiatives when they were still in the fourth grade. They added Lexi and grew Youth Take a Stand in Baltimore into a high school club. Now it is a the 501(c)(3) non-profit with the aim of helping those experiencing homelessness in Baltimore.Â
Our Partnerships
We are deeply grateful to Mary-Catherine who inspired us and to the invaluable partnerships who have supported our mission over the years. We are thankful for Karma for Cara, who has supplied us microgrants to support our service projects, Healthcare for the Homeless, who has provided a great way to reach those experiencing homelessness, and our classmates who have volunteered backpacks and their time to assemble kits and sandwiches for our service projects.
