Through SLP, the Urban League expects to establish a citywide program that brings together underrepresented students every month from all over Baltimore to learn essential skills necessary to thrive in higher education and in their communities. The program addresses an urgent need to bring struggling children from low-income families the literacy training, academic support and self-esteem cultivation necessary to succeed academically.
Launched in September, SLP offers an evidence-based curriculum that covers a range of subjects, such as social awareness, civic engagement, anger management, health literacy and college preparedness.
