The Compass

Second Edition, November 2019

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to share how grateful we are to have your support! There is no more important, or challenging, mission than working to break the cycle of poverty in Annapolis.

Your volunteer hours, donations, and kind words shared about our work go far in allowing us to partner with over 30 youth and their families to provide mentoring , education , and family support .

This is what we have accomplished together...

But there is more to do!

Giving Tuesday is December 3! Join us on Facebook on Tuesday, starting at 8 a.m. to support Annapolis students and families with your donation.

An anonymous donor has come forward to match $5,000 in donations raised on Giving Tuesday!

Not on Facebook?

You can donate through our website!

Charting Careers helps bring together nonprofits in Annapolis

Charting Careers is proud to have partnered with the Maryland Reentry Resource Center to organize a symposium for nonprofit leaders serving children and youth in Annapolis. On October 23, 2019, over 35 nonprofit leaders came together to build relationships, begin to develop a shared vision for what we can accomplish together, and identify specific ways to partner and collaborate. Thank you to the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County for facilitating, the Annapolis Maritime Museum for hosting, and all those who participated. We are hopeful and excited about what we can accomplish together!
