The Police Youth Challenge (PYC) is entering its 10th year here at Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School. It's taken many forms in that time, but for the last year and a half, it's been making an impact every Thursday. In that time, nearly 3,000 participants have come together to build trust and shift their perceptions of one another. Youth and Officers from the city meet and learn about each other, tackle difficult challenges, and ultimately find ways to connect for a better Baltimore.
The program continues thanks to community partners like Rosedale Federal Savings & Loan who help to fund the costs associated running the PYC. Without their help, and others like them, we wouldn't be able to make this program available at no cost to the schools and groups involved. Support like this is paramount to the change we're looking to create.

A NOTE FROM ROSEDALE
“Rosedale Federal Savings & Loan has been a proud sponsor of the Baltimore Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound’s Police Youth Challenge for the last two years.
