The Liberty Learning Center helps break the cycle of poverty and crime by providing meaningful, faith-based child care and youth development activities in East Baltimore. We operate an after-school program and summer camp for children between 5 and 12 years old. We also provide a mentoring program for children between 5 and 18 years of age.

Volunteers are needed as mentors, tutors, child care aides and administrative staff. Volunteers are also needed for accounting, graphics design, web site development, and computer support maintaining and expanding our network of educational and administrative computers and applications.
