Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Crime & Law, Education, Educational Services, Literacy, Remedial Reading & Encouragement, Youth Violence Prevention
Mission: Partnership for Learning addresses the dire link between learning deficiencies and juvenile delinquency. PFL?s mission is to prevent future crimes by first-time juvenile offenders with reading difficulties by re-engaging them in learning, educational, and vocational opportunities.
Programs: In cooperation with Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorneys, Assistant Public Defenders, Juvenile Court, Public Schools, and the Department of Juvenile Services, PFL provides a critical early intervention for first-time offenders with special learning needs in lieu of costly prosecution. PFL participants attend the literacy and life skills-based tutoring and mentoring program once weekly for at least six months under a court-sanctioned mutual postponement. If a youth completes 50 hours in the program, maintains regular school attendance, and incurs no new charges, his/her case will be dismissed. PFL will serve over 85 youth ages 10-17 in Fiscal Year 2006. Population is predominantly lower-income African-American males.
