Living Classrooms Foundation is an amazing foundation, which strives to help those in need in a multitude of avenues. Whether through workforce development/reentry programs, top charter schools education/turn around programs (Commodore John Rodgers), high school mentoring, shipboard education, health and wellness, among many other programs, Living Classrooms dedicates each and every day to making our kids a better versions of theirselves.

The staff at the community centers, along with the other departments are top notch. They are the ones who are facilitating the betterment of the city of Baltimore. If only there was a foundation like this in each city (Chicago, Phila, L.A., etc).

Top charter school in the City. Top re-entry program in the state. This is a very strong organization that I choose to support. I'm happy to give Living Classrooms five stars- and more if I could!

I love Living Classrooms! They truly do great work for our community- and in an innovative, non-traditional, and hands-on way!! I have spoken to many people who have been through their programs whose lives have been changed. I'm very thankful for this organization.

I was a Rising Star honoree with Living Classrooms in 2014 and have continued to stay involved as a volunteer and donor ever since. I am continually amazed by the wide variety of programs offered to students of all ages, including not only after school programs, but workforce development programs. I admire their commitment to serve not only children, but adults and entire families too. I am excited to get more involved as an Associate Leadership Council member this year.

Living Classrooms does a phenomenal job working with disadvantaged teens and adults in our DC-Baltimore region. I support them because they are transparent, accountable, and they get stuff done! I also have the honor of volunteering with them often and I'm continually impressed with how they are teaching young and older people skills to be successful and self-sufficient.

I cannot find too many ways that they can improve. The staff is Hands-On, and treats my children like family like they are their own. We have limited resources that keep our kids educated and never bored. Watching them values and give them Insight on what it takes to succeed, while having fun.
