The University of Maryland School of Social Work’s Center for Restorative Change, in partnership with Bethel AME Church, will host the Third Annual Back to School Bash at Booker T. Washington Middle School/Renaissance Academy in the Upton Druid Heights neighborhood of Baltimore.
Supporting youth and their families as they embark on a new school year is a critical aspect of community building. Events like the Back to School Bash play a significant role in this endeavor, not only providing essential resources but also offering a platform for engagement and empowerment to ensure a successful and rewarding academic journey for young students.
Saturday, Aug. 17
11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Booker T. Washington Middle School
The Back to School Bash/Annual Block Party will have live music, games, and resource booths. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about the center and local services such as RISE Family Support Center, B’more for Healthy Babies, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
