3. Family League of Baltimore (Family League), in partnership with the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, is committed to supporting students through a collective effort to surround them with opportunities for success and to remove the barriers keeping them from attending school regularly and from being engaged and supported in school, at home, and in their communities. Far too many children and youth lack access to opportunities and services to help them thrive. And yet, in Baltimore City, there is a wide variety of such programs within our neighborhoods and schools.
