The Greenmount East Leadership Project (GELP) is a community organization committed to uplifting at-risk adolescents in Greenmount East, Baltimore. By providing skills, resources, and developmental support, our mission is to help youth successfully transition from childhood to adulthood and reach their full potential. Our youth programs include everything from community cleanup and enrichment programs to fitness and mental health.
GELP was founded on a simple but powerful framework—Exposure, Exploration, and Experience—giving youth opportunities to see what’s possible, discover their potential, and prepare for what’s next.
Broadening horizons by connecting youth to real-world experiences.
Encouraging curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
Turning lessons into leadership through practice and mentorship.
Our programs extend far beyond activities. They’re designed to transform. From “8 Days of Giving” to out-of-school-time initiatives, we’re creating safe spaces for teens to grow, lead, and shine.
What started as a neighborhood initiative is now a citywide movement. Through mentorship, education, and outreach, we’ve helped hundreds of youth gain the tools to succeed—in life and leadership.
