Academic Support: Student Led Programs
North Star Baltimore is a trademark of UniFIED Efforts, Inc.
We listen to our youth to ensure we have an authentic and strong relationship: A key to our success. Our students receive academic support, new career paths opportunities, paid internships, a format to have their voices heard without judgment, and a peaceable environment that is conducive for them to create and grow into civic-minded adults. Our print publication, I BelongMagazine.com, provides our teens with marketing, advertising, public relations, and branding protection experiences.
North Star Baltimore is a student-led program of UnIFIED Efforts, Inc. Our Northstar logo was designed by TBC, Baltimore, MD. The North Star is the brightest star, in Ursa Minor, at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. The northern axis of the Earth points towards it, and to keep from getting lost the North Star is used in navigation and astronomy. As a youth-led organization, we trust our youth to lead the way in discovering paths to sustainable peaceful resolutions.
"Following the North Star - guiding our youth in the right direction."
In Memoriam, Tayshawn Nathaniel Michael Walker: One, of UE's earliest out of school time students. Tay was instrumental in launching UE's first New Career Paths paid internship program.
