Advancing Baltimore's Future Through Equity, Innovation, and Leadership

DEAR BALTIMORE CORPS FRIENDS & FAMILY,

The end of August and beginning of September is always a busy time of year at Baltimore, but also one of the most rewarding! At the end of August, we were privileged to be able to celebrate the incredible work of #BCorpsCohort4 as they closed out their Fellowship year, and just a few weeks later, we welcomed our 5th cohort of Fellows.
As I write this, our team is meeting for the first time with Public Allies finalists, as we bring that program into the Baltimore Corps fold. (If you know are an employer or know of one who might be interested in hosting an Ally, please contact our Director of Employer Engagement Sarah Flammang, as we are finalizing those agreements now.)
Five years in, it is so rewarding to see not only the impact our network has had through the matching of talent to opportunity in Baltimore's social sector, but also the many ways in which our network continues to grow and expand, connecting for change here in our city that we know to be the "best place in the world to change the world."
As we've been gathering stories during this anniversary year, it's incredible to hear the many ways in which our network members connect personally and professionally. We hope you will share your story, and come celebrate with us during the week of October 15-19. Look out for network stories in the weeks to come, and be sure to RSVP to the week's events using the links below.
Sincerely,
Fagan Harris
President & CEO
