TCS Shout Out from Baltimore Beat!
December 8, 2024
Thank you to the shout from The Baltimore Beat!
Read below from their latest issue where they featured their “Best (and Worst) of Baltimore 2024: For the Culture”
Best: The Kids Are Alright Award
In our current semi-apocalyptic-hellscape, finding hope and finding joy isn’t easy. Many folks have negative things to say about Baltimore (See Dietz further below) and Baltimore’s young people.
We wanted to highlight the work of five Baltimore-based youth groups and organizations, which illustrate the talent, creativity, and promise of the next generation of Baltimoreans.
If you are ever searching for moments of brightness and hope, look no further than the existence and work of Charm Lit Mag, Writers In Baltimore Schools, Wide Angle Youth Media, New Generation Scholars, and The Community School.
Having faith in humanity can leave you feeling pretty jaded; these young people are working to ensure we have a future. Support them if you can with donations!…
The Community School (TCS)
The Community School is a unique academic and mentoring high school for young people in Baltimore. Since its founding, TCS has worked with hundreds of students, helping them stabilize their lives, advance their education, and go on to college. Many donate their time and energy to TCS in recognition of the students’ promise and brilliance.
There is a multimedia studio that produces an impressive weekly newscast. TCS students are critical thinkers who are intellectually curious and creative because of their safe, supportive, and comfortable yet rigorous environment. With an enrollment of under 20 students and led by Tom Culotta, who started the school in 1982, it represents a beacon of community education in Baltimore; each TCS class comprises students who will be diligent, thoughtful, and engaged leaders.
