The 2019 Class Of OSI Fellows

Open Society Institute’s Baltimore field office works to improve city life by offering start-up funding to social entrepreneurs.We get a behind the scenes view of how OSI community fellows are selected with Pamela King, who oversees the program, and 2016 fellow Gianna Rodriguez, who heads Baltimore Youth Arts.Then, we kick off our profiles of this year’s fellows with Alphonso Mayo. He was working as a football coach when he saw the gap a mentor could fill. Mayo’s project - Mentors Mentoring - will bring middle, high school, and college students together to build a chain of mentoring.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
