Friends School of Baltimore is a coeducational, Quaker college preparatory day school serving students in grades Pre-K through 12. Guided by the values of integrity, equality, simplicity, community, stewardship and peaceful resolution of conflict, the School sets for its students high standards of excellence within a caring and inclusive environment. Friends was founded in 1784 and is at once Baltimore’s oldest and most forward-looking school. The core belief that there is “that of God” in everyone, and the School’s culture of seeking truth, of engaging with people from different backgrounds, and of serving others remain central to a Friends education.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) fights for bold and creative solutions to the pollution that plagues the Bay and its tributaries. Across the six-state Chesapeake watershed, CBF sets the agenda, serves as a watchdog, and speaks out on behalf of the Chesapeake Bay to business, government, and the public. CBF fights for strong and effective laws and regulations and works cooperatively with government, business, and citizens in partnerships to protect and restore the Bay. When necessary, we use legal means to force compliance with existing laws. We restore the Bay's essential habitats and filtering mechanisms, such as forests, wetlands, underwater grasses, and oysters, through a variety of hands-on projects. Finally, CBF's environmental education program introduces residents to the wonders of the watershed and works to heighten sensitivity, increase knowledge, and empower citizens to take positive action toward the Bay's restoration.
