The Choice Program at UMBC: Three Decades of Service

The nonprofit Choice Program has worked for three decades to mentor young people in Maryland. With the help of AmeriCorps fellows, Choice works to keep families together, prevent repeat crimes by young people in the justice system, and provide educational and vocational opportunities.We hear from director LaMar Davis about their strategy. We also spoke with current AmeriCorps fellow Shanelle Grier and former participant - later fellow - Latoya Felder.The Choice Program at UMBC is celebrating its 30th anniversary with events this weekend, including a happy hour and trivia night.
