Idea & Innovation Challenge: SPARK Track
The Challenge
Nearly one in five Baltimore City students does not graduate from high school on time. A key factor driving this issue is that many students struggle to see a connection between their current studies and future opportunities.
We are asking you: How can we help Baltimore City students discover opportunities, purpose, and pathways that inspire them to stay engaged through graduation?
Your solution can take many forms, including:
- Businesses or Nonprofits
