[Baltimore - USA] [ Open Classrooms, Chartered is a tax exempt IRS
501c3 nonprofit corporation created for the benefit of the community,
providing hands on education to youth groups from diverse backgrounds
with special emphasis on disadvantaged "at risk" youths.

We have turned our attentions to the Internet and the World Wide Web
as a way to aid our charity in fund raising using the collection of
donated vehicles and direct contributions as well as a means to make
available funds to other charities. Please take a look and see what we
are doing. Our web site address is http://www.openclassrooms.com 

Utilizing challenging settings and other learning environments,
including opportunities in the community, Open Classrooms, Chartered
makes funds available to aid school programs and community based
projects. We make funds available which allow disadvantaged children
the opportunity to experience new types of learning such as travel to
living museums to get that "hands on" learning experience.

Mission Statement
To fund model educational projects throughout the United States to
schools and community based groups working with disadvantaged
"at-risk" youth.

Open Classrooms, Chartered in addition from seeking funding through
grant programs and direct donations has available to other charities

those charities that meet our project goals and profile to aid
disadvantaged �at risk� youths.

Recently, Open Classroom was awarded a grant from the Maryland Food
Bank. In addition we have provided funds to take children on field
trips to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. We have also provided funds to
The Harlem Park Community School. We have been working with The

youth at The Harlem Park Community Schools with programs targeted on
the prevention of child abuse, teen pregnancy, youth suicide, general
mental health and substance abuse.
