About
Are you looking to break out of your bubble and meet new people? Do you want to support young people in Baltimore and build a more connected community? If so, consider volunteering for Thread.
About Us:
Thread is a growing movement to support young people in Baltimore and build a more connected community where everyone can thrive. Thread enrolls ninth grade students who rank academically in the bottom 25% of their class and face an abundance of challenges in and out of the classroom. Thread commits to our young people for ten years and pairs them with up to four caring adult volunteers who represent a diverse cross section of Baltimore City, forming a Thread Family.
Our volunteers—from millennials and retirees, to college students and PhD candidates, working professionals and empty nesters, lifelong residents and transplants—build relationships with young people and each other to form a deeply woven extended network of care and support. Together we define goals, overcome barriers, and achieve success while building a more connected Baltimore.
Join us to weave a new social fabric in Baltimore. Visit thread.org to learn more and get involved.
Our Mission:
Thread 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. Our community is committed to ending social isolation and building a more equitable culture in which everyone thrives.
