BGC Metro Baltimore

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens when young people have the opportunity to explore, experiment, and discover something new for themselves. On July 23, that spirit of discovery came to life as volunteers from Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Baltimore team spent the day engaging Club members through hands-on STEM activities at our Brooklyn O’Malley and Webster Kendrick Clubs.

Summer Fest demonstrated what becomes possible when young people have access to safe spaces, caring adults and a community deeply invested in their futures. While the Ravens Club was the backdrop for the day, it really served as the hub of opportunity capable of welcoming hundreds of young people and giving them access to experiences designed to support their physical, social and emotional well-being.

Every day this summer, our Club youth have been building confidence, discovering new interests, strengthening friendships, and developing skills that will stay with them long after summer ends. Whether they're building STEM projects, creating artwork, having fun outside, or going on field trips; each day brings new opportunities to learn and grow.
