Volunteer for a neighborhood urban garden
Sassascapes, a non-profit urban gardening group, is starting a community garden at Pedestal Gardens in Madison park that focuses on youth development through service. Volunteers have planted 50 bulbs of tulips, crocuses and Irises, along with perennial flowers, local herbs, green onions and one rose bush. 3 weeks ago, we planted 4 blueberry bushes and 2 raspberry bushes. The youth are excited about their secret bulb garden that is going to pop up in the spring and the adults are happy to see the youth doing positive things in their community. Lend your support.

THREAD needs volunteers to work with high schoolers
Now in its 16th year, Thread connects university students, community-based volunteers and collaborating professionals to high school freshman students at risk of dropping out of school based on their academic performance (bottom 25% of their class) and an abundance of challenges outside the classroom. It surrounds them with support for the remainder of their high school years and beyond, hoping to show them a path to career and personal success. In doing so, Thread hopes to change the fabric of Baltimore and build lasting relationships that transcend the barriers that prevent the city from moving forward. Several Bolton Hill residents already are volunteers. More information: billhamilton@mail.com
