Student Support Network

📣 The Hub will be temporarily closed for shopping and donations as our team prepares for the upcoming school year.

During this time, we’ll be focused on:
✔️ Inventory
✔️ Space reset
✔️ FY27 planning

These behind-the-scenes efforts help us better serve students, families, and schools in the year ahead. Thank you for your patience and continued support! 💙

It truly takes a village! 🎉🙌

As this school year wraps up, we're feeling ALL the gratitude for the incredible community that makes Student Support Network possible. From our dedicated volunteers and generous donors, to our amazing partners and every single person who showed up for our students — YOU made this year one for the books. 📚✨

We couldn't do what we do without every one of you. Here's to the village — thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 💛

Back by popular demand! Our annual fundraiser, A Night for the Network, is back and better than ever! We will be hosting a carnival themed evening of food, games, raffles, auctions, and community at a new location this year. Can you guess our new event location? 🎟️

The Network is excited to welcome our first Goucher College intern, Zyad!

"Z" recently graduated from Goucher College with a degree in Business Administration and Management, concentrating in International Business, with a minor in Psychology. As a Sudanese refugee and first-generation college graduate, he is passionate about leadership, community engagement, and creating opportunities for young people to succeed.

"I am excited to join the Student Support Network because it allows me to support students, build meaningful connections, and contribute to programs that help young people and families thrive."

We recently completed school visits at Woodlawn Middle School, Woodlawn High School, and Baltimore Highlands Elementary School!
During each visit, we met with the staff who support our partnership and the students we serve, reviewed attendance improvements made possible through the Room of Support, and discussed ways to strengthen our work heading into the next school year.
We're grateful for the collaboration of each school and the staff who make this work possible. We look forward to continuing to grow together.

As we head into summer, we want to send a heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters! It has been a busy school year, and our community makes an amazing team- a true Student Support Network. ❤️

We had a wonderful visit to Featherbed Lane Elementary School last week! 🎉

Our Executive Director, Wendy Stringfellow, and Program Manager, Lisa Shealey, had the opportunity to meet with Haydee Manning (Care Liaison) and Jessica Hyman (CSF), whose dedication is making a meaningful difference in the lives of some of our most vulnerable students every day. 💙

A special congratulations to new Principal James Marthe — we look forward to continuing this important partnership!
