My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been so grateful for the Exchangeree and the BCPS Foundation. I have been awarded the 21st Century Grant several times in the past which helped to fund field trips to Ford's Theater and Travelling History Trunks from the Maryland Historical Society to make history come alive for my students. I have shopped week after week at the Exchangeree for supplies for my students and teachers on my team and for books to build classroom libraries for my entire school. All that and still I have another reason to be grateful. The Exchangeree has provided my son, a BCPS graduate with autism, the opportunity to volunteer and learn some workforce readiness skills. Finding opportunities for students like him is not easy and the BCPS Foundation has welcomed him with open arms. Each week he reports for "work" and has an opportunity to learn and be part of a working community.
