Our flagship initiative Reaching New Heights has been an economic vehicle that has provided low-income, underemployed and unemployed multicultural trainees with professional careers, stronger household incomes and financial stability. We serve as an incubator of bilingual talent and pipeline for employers to tap qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds. Our program expands pathways into professional careers for immigrants in Baltimore who have non-traditional challenges entering the workforce.
Our graduates are now working at Bank of America, BB&T, BGE, Fulton Bank, Howard Bank, Maryland Live Casino, MECU, PNC, Pandora, State Farm, New York Life Insurance, Wells Fargo and other top corporations.
Our graduates are earning between $9,000-$42,000 more in wages as a result of our program, plus benefits, including health insurance, 401K and paid sick and vacation days. The Foundation’s impact video features three participant testimonials
