OUR SERVICES
Branches for Baltimore is a youth-founded and fostered organization with a mission of planting trees in Baltimore City's heat islands and raising money for charities with aligning missions. We believe in the difference young people can make in their communities and through Baltimore City College, The Bryn Mawr School, The Baltimore School for the Arts, Howard High School, and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute we are working to plant trees in our city's heat islands. By planting trees in areas that lack greenery, we can improve air quality, reduce the urban heat island effect, and create a more sustainable city while increasing comfort within these neighborhoods. Our organization is run entirely by youth volunteers who are passionate about making a positive change in Baltimore. Join us in our mission to create a greener city for generations to come. Join us for bake sales and similar events to raise money for our plant days, or donate through the site to play a part in our mission!
