Our mission is simple: reduce summer learning loss.

We listen to our youth to ensure we have an authentic and strong relationship: 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. Logo  designed by TBC, Inc. 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"
