Invest in the Success of Your Neighbors

What truly ignites our passion is what moves us forward, both in our professional and personal lives. At Maryland New Directions (MND), we are dedicated to helping Baltimore residents explore career paths that lead to lasting security and success. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we can provide no-cost employment coaching and specialized career training programs that guide individuals toward the futures they deserve.

As our organization continues to expand, our framework must evolve as well—including the physical spaces that support our programs and services. Your support for our expansion campaign is far more than just a move to a new location. It empowers us to reach more individuals and uphold our commitment to being there not only in their times of need but throughout their entire career journeys. This creates a lasting transformation that inspires and reignites others, ensuring a foundation that’s built to last.

“I never knew this program would be a life transformation. From the group presentations, one-on-ones with your job coach, class conversations, and versatile teaching - there’s so much more to MND than a certification. In three weeks, our class became a family, and it gave us the accomplishment of finishing something. I’ve never had this type of training to guide me, now I understand I have the framework to succeed.”

“My story started with so much struggle and fear, but because of MND, this chapter right here is called stability and joy.”
- Torchia
“MND is very helpful and if you don’t know what you want to do, they are a good route to get your foot in the door. They have a bunch of solutions and resources to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.”
- Camren
“At MND, I was taught communication skills, how to work effectively with others, and how to build my resume. Most importantly, I have built up my confidence and character. The knowledge I learned at MND has exceeded my expectations, and they took the time to help me achieve my goals and instill a new sense of purpose."
