Support our Baltimore Campaign Help Grow Our Movement
CASA will renovate the 16,000 square-foot building at 2706 Pulaski Highway. Services will be significantly expanded, allowing CASA to serve an additional 7,000 low-income residents annually, for a total of 11,000 a year.
Programs will include:
- An on-site vocational training lab with a focus on the healthcare, construction and IT fields;
- Expansion of employment placement and workforce development programs;
- Expansion of afterschool and youth leadership development programs;
- Expansion of ESOL programming to include intermediate and advanced levels;
- Increased capacity for tax preparation, financial literacy, citizenship classes, and legal services.
As of October 2018, CASA had raised all but $1M towards the project goal! Please help us reach our goal by donating – and leave a legacy for generations to come!
