Adolescents Present to Maryland Lawmakers at Lobby Day

March 3, 2025

Our Adolescents visited the Maryland State House in Annapolis for Lobby Day where they presented to legislators on upcoming bills. Their bills included restorative practices in schools, animal rights laws, paid leave for parents, water bottle refill stations in Baltimore City, funding for the 988 hotline, youth sports safety commission, porch piracy laws, and prescription coverage for workers’ compensation. ⁠

Thank you to the delegates, senators, and staffers who shared their time with our Greenspring students. And a special thanks to Greenspring parent, Jen Brock, for volunteering your time to support our students in this important work.
