Greetings to you dear community!
This is our new periodical, through which we can send you updates about opportunities at Stillmeadow that may invest in your family’s quality of life.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”
Turnaround Tuesday -Every Tuesday, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Their mission is to prepare, train, and connect returning citizens, unemployed and underemployed citizens to living wage jobs and to build a vibrant public life. Unique training sessions equip those seeking jobs with the ability to practice interviews, also helping them pinpoint the skills they can finely tune in order to obtain living wage jobs. Helping with the job-seeking process and connecting clients with employers doesn’t stop there. They follow up with clients so they have a solid support system. In 2022, a total of 261 clients were placed with jobs through Turnaround Tuesday, and are now employed at places such as Bank of America, Johns Hopkins Hospital, University of Maryland Medical System, Baltimore County Public Schools, and UPS.
Stillmeadow PeacePark Learning Center was created in an effort to support our three local schools: North Bend and Beechfield Elementary/Middle Schools, Edmondson High School; as well as others in the area. Because of the 10 acres of forest on our property (now a public park for all), we have the unique opportunity to provide supplemental education that incorporates nature. The Learning Center is open Monday through Wednesday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and it’s free to join! We work with children in grades 3 thru 12, offering homework help, practice for reading and math, nature walks, science, technology, and much more! Sign your child up today at Stillmeadow PeacePark Learning Center Registration. If you’d like to volunteer to help in any capacity with The Learning Center, please contact Yorell Tuck via email at yorell@stillmeadow.community.
