Community Compost Bin
As part of the Baltimore Comprehensive Composting Pilot in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Maryland – Baltimore, we are pleased to offer a community compost drop-off site during the Govanstowne Farmer’s Market this summer! The overarching goal of the Baltimore Comprehensive Composting Pilot is to increase Baltimore City residents’ and communities’ access to composting and food waste reduction opportunities by removing long standing educational, social, and economic barriers.

EXTENDED TUTORING THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGED LITERACY PROGRAM (CELP)
CCSJ partners with local elementary and middle schools to offer weekly tutoring to students who need help with literacy. We are seeking volunteer tutors who are willing to participate in 10 hours of training and commit to twice-weekly tutoring sessions at a local school. Because it involves working with students under 18, it requires that folks are fingerprinted.
If you are interested in supporting tutoring efforts, please contact Abbie Flanagan at aflanagan1@loyola.edu.
WORK STUDY
If you are work-study eligible, we are seeking students to support our student facilitators and logistics coordinators in their duties. These tasks range from driving volunteers to their sites to tutor assistant.
If you have any questions, please contact Lemoine Joseph, Jr. at ljoseph1@loyola.edu.
