Break A Difference

@OsCommunity Thank you so much for showing up, grabbing shovels, and supporting our work in #WestBaltimore.

Our Orange and Black Gives Back team spent the morning with Parity Homes in the Harlem Park neighborhood building benches, laying pavers, and much more.

We're honored and extremely proud of our partnership with @UABaltimore! More than that, we're appreciative of the contributions of our Urban Alliance interns every year🙏

#UACelebrates @UABaltimore Job Site of the Year honoree, @BrkADifference! Thank you for continuing to support our interns through these challenging times and helping us create meaningful virtual events!

A9: We are always inspired by our Volunteer Coordinators who help us mobilize our volunteers. They consistently go above and beyond to facilitate transformative volunteer experiences. #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

Reply 2: A2: Don’t forget Amariyanna Copeny (Little Miss Flint) was 8 when she started weekly water distributions in Flint #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

A3: Reflection. Service can be challenging and social justice issues are complex, so it is essential to have time to process them. What did each student learn? How does that relate to their own life and story? #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

A4: Networking- It’s amazing to provide a community with what you feel it needs, but one can’t forget they’re not working for the community, but with the community. Assist youth in building these relationships so they can meet community needs. #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

A5: MLK knew the youth are integral to lasting change because they have the energy to back their passion with action. Serving the community addresses a problem bigger than oneself and works towards a solution. #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat #MLKDayOfService

A7: Hmmm, maybe this one #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork

A6: For MLK Day, while we’re not coordinating a service project, our friends at @The6thBranch are doing it up big in East Baltimore — if you’re still looking to volunteer, you can find more info here: tinyurl.com/wdbjx2y #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat #MLKDayOfService

A5: Youth leadership in community service honors the power of bringing together a group of passionate, like-minded people who will create a movement that values positive change and advocacy. #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat #MLKDayOfService

A4: Education - Think critically about the ways in which a particular social justice issue intersects with other groups. What are the large scale implications of those issues? #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

A3: Self-care. We love seeing enthusiastic and engaged youth wanting to go all in on a project. It is awesome! At the same time, there should also be an emphasis on volunteers’ wellbeing. Staying hydrating and taking breaks are key. #PowerOfYouth

A2: At one of our employee’s universities there was a student org which installed solar powered tables that double served as charging stations to influence a green initiative at UMBC #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

A1: Start at school! Join a club or group that addresses a topic you’re interested in. If one doesn’t exist, think about starting one. Utilize your school’s staff. Maybe a guidance counselor, teacher or coach can point you in the right direction. #PowerOfYouth #PromiseChat

Thank you to @BrkADifference, @Chase, and @JPMorgan for assembling and donating bicycles to our Finish Line Club this past week! Let's keep doing whatever it takes! #BGCIndy #ThankYou

@BrigitteJL @mindykaling @RAICESTEXAS @BrigitteJL TY for the nomination!🥰 @mindykaling we engage college students in immersive week-long volunteer experiences in hopes that they dedicate their lives to being more engaged in community efforts. A $1,000 donation would allow to offe r a scholarship to a lucky student!

@mindykaling @RAICESTEXAS I nominate @BrkADifference! They do amazing work to help rebuild after disasters and connect civic minded young people with volunteer opportunities. I helped at the Jersey Shore and brought over 150 college students from as far as Alaska to help rebuild after Hurricane Sandy.

@UWMOC @UnitedWayNNJ @UnitedWayEWH @UnitedWayCJ @AmeriCorps @UWMOC thanks for the shout out! Ya'll definitely lead the way in rebuilding in ways that should be replicated across the network! #UnitedWayChat

A2. UWMOC was a convener, volunteer coordinator and fiscal agent during Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts and worked with many organizations including @UnitedWayNNJ, @UnitedWayEWH, @UnitedWayCJ, @AmeriCorps and @BrkADifference #UnitedWayChat twitter.com/neilparekh_uww…
