Mission Statement
Baltimore’s Promise harnesses the power of data and collaboration to achieve better outcomes for Baltimore’s youth and their families. - We support initiatives with a diverse range of partners to improve outcomes for youth at every age. - We listen to and partner with youth to advocate for and fund programs that support communities that have been underfunded. - We maintain and update data initiatives, like the Youth Data Scorecard, to make data related to health and well-being of children and young people in Baltimore accessible to all. - We conduct and broadly share research to help decision makers and our community understand what’s working and what needs to be improved to better serve youth in our city.
About This Cause
Together, we can realize Baltimore’s enormous promise by creating an environment where youth and communities thrive. We all want to be able to provide for our families, feel safe in our communities and give our kids a fair shot. For too many folks in Baltimore, this is not the current reality. Population decline, loss of jobs and affordable housing, limited opportunity and investment and increases in crime have prevented our city from thriving. These challenges disproportionately fall on the shoulders of our young people, especially Black and Brown kids, because of historic and current inequities. Our community-centered approach enables us to work with partners to: - Advance a shared vision for Baltimore’s future with clear and measurable outcomes. - Make program and policy decisions and recommendations that improve outcomes for youth based on data collected and shared as transparently as possible through a racial equity lens. - Learn from the lived experiences of those most represented in or directly impacted by data. - Support existing interventions that improve outcomes children and youth in Baltimore. - Identify successful strategies from other cities in the U.S. that could be implemented in Baltimore.
