St. Francis Neighborhood Center is a nonprofit serving Reservoir Hill and Penn North for the last 60 years by providing wraparound services/programming to children and families who live/work/attend school in the area. 100% free after school and summer programming available to PK-8th grade ft. tutoring, arts enrichment, field trips, & a family advocate working 1-on-1 with guardians, plus a paid high school internship preparing students for careers/college. In addition, they hold resource fairs, food distributions, senior social hours, vaccination clinics, and more. A grassroots, hyperlocal model that if applied across the city would be transformational as it already has been in its own corner of Baltimore.
