“It's not just a cookie cutter opportunity that we bring into a school,” said Alexandria Warrick Adams (center), executive director of Elev8 Baltimore. “We bring a framework, and then based on the school's needs and opportunities that are in this community, we are able to customize.”

A rich web of nonprofits serves young people in Baltimore, working in schools and neighborhoods to keep kids engaged in positive activities. We speak with Bri Hatch, who covers education for WYPR, about a new collaborative journalism project to examine the challenges and successes experienced by children and teens in our region.
