2025 marks 10 years of Baltimore Youth Arts. A decade of standing with young people. A decade of creating space for creativity, growth, and community. And a decade of proving what’s possible when youth are given the support they deserve.

At BYA, we offer paid job training through the arts, mentorship, court advocacy, and workshops inside juvenile detention centers. We meet youth where they are—with consistency, care, and opportunity.

But this year has brought serious challenges. We have been impacted by funding shifts, and our longtime fiscal sponsor unexpectedly dissolved. In the face of uncertainty, we have stayed rooted in our mission, but we need your support to keep going.

As we celebrate 10 years, help us build toward the next 10.
Your donation makes it possible to pay young people for their creative work, bring programs inside facilities, and support youth as they transition home and into adulthood.
