Let's Thrive Baltimore's Summer Enrichment Program Celebration: Honoring Youth Leaders and Inspiring Success

Let's Thrive Baltimore recently commemorated the achievements of our summer enrichment program participants at a vibrant all-white event held at the Baltimore Center Stage, hosted by the esteemed Alumni Kortnei. The event, thoughtfully coordinated by our former student, now alumnus, James, was a splendid gathering that showcased inspiring guest speakers and acknowledged the exceptional dedication of youth leaders. These exceptional individuals not only trained and mentored youth ambassadors but also excelled in imparting crucial skills in conflict resolution, mediation, financial literacy, workforce development, entrepreneurship, mindfulness, and social skills.
