Local Bright Mind / Streetcare non-profit is offering students/staff ways to do service learning, volunteer and build apps & tech tools
We are reaching out on behalf of the veteran-led award-winning nonprofit, Bright Mind, which is based in the Baltimore Metro area. We work to aid underserved communities through education and direct support. Our work has been featured in CBS, ABC, Politico, and Newsweek. All our events are led by a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, and we maintain the highest safety standards in every activity.
We would like to invite your students, staff, and community to join us in Baltimore to help populations in need. We are reaching out to schools and their departments. In particular, our Street Care app-based initiative has helped vulnerable families and individuals, notably homeless people, by providing safe and supportive digital tools.
In June 2025, we received a significant donation from a Baltimore corporation, enabling us to expand our Street Care worker team and enhance support for vulnerable communities.
Building on many years of successful collaborations with schools and other community organizations, we launched this new collaboration program in May 2025. We have had numerous schools start collaborations with us to help people in great need. We actively partner with a variety of local organizations.Youth aged 14 and older are welcome to participate in all activities, provided an adult is present. Younger children can participate in certain non-street activities. We have coordinated with high school staff and involved numerous high school students in our program over the past four years. Here is a selection of possible types of collaboration:
