Since 2018, Fresh Globes Inc. has continued to realize its mission of providing unique and uncommon experiences to teens living in underserved communities.
Annual Alternative Spring Break: Baltimore City
Our week-long annual project focuses on service, exploration, and cultural immersion. Each day, teens start with a service project in West Baltimore, including cleaning, lot restoration, and constructing green spaces. After a break for lunch and showers, teens explore Baltimore's historical and cultural centers, distinctive neighborhoods, and universities. Finally, teens dine with local leaders and other visionaries. Ultimately, teens walked away with an empowering experience connected to the four global competencies of investigating the world, recognizing perspective, communicating ideas, and taking action.

Testimonials
"This has been a good experience. We got to meet people from different places that are pretty much just like us. We are always told that people are different, but sometimes we are the same and we don't know it." -Myles P.
"The food was a little weird sometimes, but overall good. We got to eat things like escargot, lobsters, rabbit, oysters, and a bunch of stuff that we have never even heard of. My favorite part of each day was dinner. We all sat together, ate, laughed, and really got to know more about each other." - Mekhi T.
"There really are a lot of people out here that care about us. You take us on trips and give us these experiences and you really don't have to do it. I never thought that I would be anything more than a 'Saratoga baby.' Now, at 16, I have already been to four countries including an opportunity to coach basketball in Guatemala. I really want to focus on raising money to send the students there to school. It does not cost much and they deserve the opportunity." -Rashawn H.
