By working closely with the Baltimore City Public School System’s Department of Human Resources and individual school principals, the New Teacher Project will help schools learn of retirements and resignations in advance, connect new candidates with lowest performing schools, maximize schools’ interviewing/selection skills, and operate with a policy of holding schools accountable for hiring.

The grant includes funding for a counselor to encourage positive attitudes, appropriate social behavior, and academic achievement.

The Samaritan Center

The Samaritan Center

For continued support of the Travel Voucher Program. Each year, the program provides bus vouchers to more than 400 homeless people who want to leave Baltimore to reunite with family, find employment, or receive treatment for substance abuse.
