Last Friday, members of Open Society Institute’s 2018 cohort of Community Fellows gathered at the Goodnow Community Center in East Baltimore for their monthly opportunity to share ideas, progress, and resources.
The first presenter this month was Amy Tenney (pictured with Fellow Ausar Daniels), who collaborated with the Goodnow Center and other organizations to establish the Healing and Community Integration through Music: Refugees and Other Vulnerable Immigrants program. The program provides music therapy services and teaches methods for healing and self-care. The second presenter was Shantell Roberts, who is expanding her project, Touching Young Lives, Inc., to focus on the health and well-being of infants and children by using the “Portable Alternative Crib” as a new and innovative safe sleep alternative for infants.
