We were excited to finally meet Program Officer Harold Young from the Baltimore Children and Youth Fund (BCYF)who joined us for a”Conversation with..” BCYF is generously supporting the school and enabled the hiring of another teacher at The Community School. We have been working with Harold since August but this was our first face to face meeting.
TCS is included in Harold’s portfolio of organizations at BCYF where he provides support and is a link to technical assistance and networking. In addition to his program work, Harold also does improv comedy and is an actor. He shared his career trajectory that included working to strengthen families and improve the lives of young people through his work for the city and various agencies.
Harold was especially interested in learning more about the students and the school. The students shared their stories about how they came to be at TCS and how the unique education offered here works for each of them. Fatima, Madison, Ethan and Ruth also took him on a tour explaining what goes on in all the different rooms around the school.
It was a lively conversation and we look forward to our continued work with Harold and the Baltimore Children and Youth Fund over the next 3 years.
