This year marks 20 years in Baltimore and 40 years on this planet. And all I want from you to celebrate is a donation of any size to Baltimore Youth Arts! This organization is so needed and beloved in Baltimore. But running a grassroots youth program is not easy and especially in the current environment, it's all hands on deck to make sure that spaces like BYA can continue to thrive.
Please give a donation of any size to help me meet my birthday goal! Thank you!
Baltimore Youth Arts (BYA) is a community-based arts and workforce development program for youth ages 14–25, focusing on those impacted by the juvenile justice system. BYA offers young people a platform to express themselves, build leadership skills, and prepare for employment and adulthood through paid creative job training, mentorship, and educational programming.
We work inside youth detention centers and in the community to ensure that young people are recognized for their creativity, resilience, and power. Your support helps us provide youth stipends, art supplies, job training, and a safe, supportive space where youth can grow and thrive.
Together, we’re creating a future where young people are not only heard but hired, healed, and celebrated.
