BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Twenty-seven Baltimore County Public Schools students representing 11 high schools have completed their participation in the Baltimore Ravens High School Leadership Institute. The program, presented by T. Rowe Price and the Baltimore Ravens, aims to "boost students' academic performance and empower them to become collaborative leaders and productive citizens." During the school year, participating students from Baltimore County and Baltimore city met six times and connected with community, civic and business experts. The 2020-2021 class of students met virtually in sessions focused on leading change, leading others, leading community and leading yourself. During those meetings, students heard from Matt Stover, retired NFL player; Joe Jones, founder, president and CEO of the Center for Urban Families; and Stephon Jackson, head of T. Rowe Price Investment Management. The sixth and final session served as a year-end celebration and included a service project in partnership with Soap Saves Lives in which students assembled 2,000 care packages that will be delivered to local women's and children's shelters Sarah's House and House of Ruth. Representatives from all three organizations spoke during the session, giving the students the opportunity to learn more about the work they do in the community.
