REPORT TITLE

I BelongMagazine.com What is it?

It is all of us “belonging” to Unified Efforts, Inc., 2020 summer writing project!

I BelongMagazine.com is a publication of Unified Efforts, Inc., a program to reduce summer learning loss among Baltimore’s youth. Now, more than ever, UE is committed to reducing “vital” learning loss during these unprecedented times. Our magazine offers our inner-city youth a forum to have their voices heard and to engage with one another through written expression without judgment from adults. The articles, poems, and essays in this issue were written by our 2020 summer program’s participating students. They “belong” to a program that recognizes and respects their viewpoints, perspectives, and outlooks. The choice is indeed theirs. We aim to offer positive alternatives. The I BelongMagazine.com , Autumn 2020, project was funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Family League of Baltimore in conjunction with the 2020 Baltimore Summer Funding Collaborative Program, and the City Council of Baltimore.
