Seeds 4 Success

Creating Communities and Seeds 4 Success, two nonprofit organizations serving low-income youth for over 2 decades in Annapolis, Maryland, jointly hosted a focus group in May 2018 of men living at Harbour House and Eastport Terrace to learn more about how to better serve boys living in underserved communities. The two organizations share a common mission – to provide underserved communities with direct access to innovative programs, mentoring and tutoring so they attain success in life. As a result of focus group recommendations, Seeds 4 Success and Creating Communities have developed key strategies to incorporate in programs for a new boys program and other initiatives. In the fall of 2018, Seeds 4 Success will launch the new boys program that will serve youth from 3rd to 8th grade, who will then join the already existing high school career based program, the Academic & Career Exploration Club. Seeds 4 Success is looking for male tutors and mentors to serve youth in the community; to learn more and to volunteer, contact Seeds4Success Executive Director, Najiba Hlemi, at [email protected].
