About Us
We Engage & We Empower
How We Got Here
Together We Own It was founded to serve the needs of one Maryland child. After one year enrolled in our programs, this young girl gained confidence. She began to excel in school, learned tools to identify and cope with her feelings, and her family received the support they needed, as well.
Today, Together We Own It serves over 700 children, youth and families each year, primarily in Carroll County, Maryland. We strive to foster a sense of connection between youth and their community by connecting people and resources, mentoring, providing educational enrichment, and recreational empowerment.
We've developed each of our programs in response to the needs of our community. If we help even one young person find opportunity & support we can say that we've been successful.
Leadership
We will be informed and responsive to our community and volunteers by being widely available, accessible, and engaged.
Personal Growth
We help people reach for new opportunities and grow from where they are.
Inclusiveness
We believe in the intrinsic worth of everyone and that the community is richer when we value and embrace differences.
