Homelessness influences every facet of a child’s life — from conception to young adulthood.
The Trauma of HomelessnessSHIP seeks to lift up Frederick County’s homeless youth so that they can realize their best potential, complete their education, and be poised to break the cycle of poverty they find themselves in.
We rely upon the community (including human and community service organizations, businesses, educational institutions, government, and residents) to help us accomplish our task.
SHIP is managed by a staff of committed and passionate professionals who live and work in Frederick County. This team takes the initiative – to do what’s right, take care of these children’s immediate needs, and to do it right now. SHIP works in cooperation with Frederick County Public Schools, human relief agencies, government, and other organizations to create positive outcomes in the lives of homeless youth here in our Frederick County community.
