More about Thread:

At a time when many people feel disconnected from neighbors and community, an organization in Baltimore brings together people of all ages, races and socioeconomic status to end social isolation and build a more equitable culture in which everyone thrives. Thread, a local non-profit, harnesses the power of relationships to create a new social fabric of diverse individuals deeply engaged with young people facing the most significant opportunity and achievement gaps.

Thread matches every young person it enrolls with an extended family of up to four volunteers from across the region who provide tailored support like rides to school, weekend dinners or navigating transitions to adulthood. This customized support provided by Thread Families aims to increase outcomes like high school graduation rates, post high school pathways and a greater sense of belonging for everyone in our community.

If you’d like to be part of transformational change and build a more connected Baltimore, visit thread.org to learn more about volunteer opportunities at Thread!
