On Thursday, December 3rd, Delegate Cory V. McCray from Baltimore City, Delegate Alonzo Washington from District 22 (Prince George’s County), Executive Director of Progressive Maryland Lawrence Stafford Jr., and Director of Youth and Parent Services Community Public Awareness Council Kendal Wade came to Hearts & Homes for Youth Jumpstart Group Home for Boys to provide an Action Civics Workshop for our youth!

The event was organized by Tia Holmes, Legislative Director, Prince George’s County House Delegation, Maryland General Assembly. The objective of the workshop was to engage and empower the youth in our care by listening to their ideas for policy/law change, and to connect the youth with leaders who have the potential to inspire them and who have the power to influence change.

The youth discussed their opinions on policies, issues and needed changes. They learned about the political process and the power of advocacy and community activism.
Thank you Del. McCray, Del. Washington, Larry Stafford, Kendal Wade, and Tia Holmes for this special event!
