At the end of last year, we told you about our commitment to “Keep Hope Alive in 2025.”

 

While many nonprofits face uncertain times—navigating funding challenges amid growing demand for resources and services—we’re inspired by the resilience and empowerment we see every single day in our community. 

Our Thursday workout classes have quickly become a hit, designed for all ages and skill levels

Power Project students and Senior Social participants are collaborating on a West Baltimore-inspired tapestry, led by renowned artist Maria-Theresa Fernandes

Igniter Interns' work placements in Power Project classrooms allow them to build bonds with younger students and become role models

Through these daily and weekly programs, hope isn’t just a vision—it’s in action here.
