"Other schools should offer a class like [Leadership] to their students because it is a good learning experience. The students would be able to meet new people, learn new things by working at their internship sites, and will know how to take part in advocating for something they believe in."

—Jasmine Pitts, graduate of Baltimore Freedom Academy

Ways to Contribute

CARTA cares about all young people, but prioritizes the needs of vulnerable youth, disadvantaged youth and youth of color – those youth who, due to life circumstances, structural inequality, and racism, face obstacles that impede their development. CARTA chooses not to provide direct services, but rather to make existing services more appropriate and effective for diverse populations. We believe we can reach more youth, leverage more support, and achieve greater impact with this broad strategy.

Your tax-deductible donation will support the ongoing work of the organization, including capacity building and support projects that promote the success of young people.
