The Raven’s All Community Team Foundation (RACTF) will be partnering with My Sister’s Circle (MSC) by donating $25,000 to aid in its comprehensive relationship-based program designed to mentor girls from disadvantaged Baltimore neighborhoods. Established in 2000, MSC is a local nonprofit that gets involved with young women during their challenging transition to middle school, high school and college.
“All that we celebrate about the Ravens – a shared dream of what is possible, a passion to push hard to make it a reality and a deep belief in the power of team – is what inspires all of us committed to transforming the lives of young women here in Baltimore,” stated My Sister’s Circle executive director Heather Harvison. “My Sister’s Circle is thrilled and grateful to partner with the best.”
The program helps in the following ways:
· Matching each girl with a highly-qualified volunteer mentor
· Organizing cultural, educational and recreational events and trips
· Soliciting summer camp scholarships
· Referring students to leadership programs and internships
· Working with the girls and their families throughout the challenging middle and high school selection process
· Connecting students with MSC’s own Director of College Counseling for college guidance and support
Kudos to the Ravens for helping tackle some of the issues that adolescent girls face. It’s a tough world out there and we all know how rough transition can be, especially for those that are disadvantaged. We applaud them for their support of My Sister’s Circle. Well done.
