Celebrating a Successful Barclay Youth Safe Haven Launch

On Monday, GHCC staff joined Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Congressman Elijah Cummings, and representatives from Telesis Corporation and the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation to kick off the Barclay Youth Safe Haven program. The Safe Haven provides 50 students at Dallas F. Nicholas Elementary School in Barclay with a safe place to go after dismissal, complete with mentoring and enrichment activities. The kick-off got some great press coverage this week, and we're delighted to spread the word about this great program! Check out the news stories below:
