Greetings!
Welcome to the NAACP Baltimore City Branch website! Hopefully, you will find our website informative and user friendly about the Baltimore City Branch and our Youth Council. We have listed menu programs and activities to address and promote civil rights concerns both locally and nationally. Through civil rights advocacy and community involvement we continue the struggle of the NAACP organization. Our mission in Baltimore City is to enhance the initiatives developed by our national office. The Baltimore City Branch is a 501 (c)(4) non-profit organization. Your support through membership, fund raising activities and corporate sponsorship allows this organization to continue serving the community that sponsors many free activities. Our goal is to make a positive difference in our community by being speaking truth to power and by being un-bought and un-bossed.
