Parks & People Foundation

Since 1984, Parks & People Foundation has worked to improve the quality of life in Baltimore’s neighborhoods. Staff, volunteers and partners in the community have developed innovative solutions to issues facing Baltimore City including the restoration of City neighborhoods and their natural resources as well as the aca­demic enrichment and motivation of community children. In order to realize the vision of a healthy environment where people live, work, learn and play, Parks and People have formed a strategy targeting two major fields of endeavor: Great Parks, Clean Streams & Green Communities—Helping to improve the physical, social and environmental quality of neighborhoods through greening activities and form­ing networks among communities to sustain natural resources. Motivating Youth— Programs nurturing children and supporting communities by working together to provide enriching activities for youth. Parks and People Foundation is a 2009 Johns Hopkins Neighborhood Fund recipient.
