Advocacy

From city politics to prisoners of conscience, our youth are engaged in positively changing the world around them.

In the summer of 2010 the city of Baltimore planned to close 13 walk-to neighborhood pools in the name of budget cuts. Our campers wrote letters to the mayor, protested at the neighborhood pool and met with the head of the City’s Parks and Recreation  Department. They were featured on radio shows and in the newspaper. They succeeded in their efforts and the City reopened the pools and has since kept them running summer after summer.
