As we come to the close of our second Elevation Awards cohort, we are affirmed in our commitment to place-based leadership. We believe that the city’s greatest potential change agents are those who are already in the Baltimore communities and are most impacted by its challenges.
Through the Elevation Awards, Baltimore Corps works to identify these potential change agents, equipping them with information, training, experiences, administrative support, and initial financial backing as they work to transform an idea into reality. We look forward to continuing to work with these amazing community leaders as they embark on next steps for community solutions: Solutions that range from addressing blight in Baltimore to supporting new mothers with NICU experiences to providing services to the long-term unemployed and those transitioning from the criminal justice system and so much more.
We are thankful for our partnerships with Echoing Green, the T. Rowe Price Foundation, the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, Johns Hopkins’ Social Innovation Lab and OSI-Baltimore, and so many others who have supported our Awardees throughout the year.
We hope you will join with us in celebrating and showcasing the work of our Awardees Tuesday, June 19. Applications for the next group of Awardees will open that same evening. We encourage you to spread the word to change agents in your network who are working to make the city stronger to apply for this incredible opportunity.
Sincerely,
Fagan Harris
President & CEO
