Additional Comments

Baltimore BORN was founded by Baltimore Raven Domonique Foxworth. The team that Domonique has assemble is fairly unique. This is a great opportunity to work with a program from the bottom up and be an integral part of the team. I encourage applicants to visit the website www.baltimoreborn.org to read the bios of the staff and learn more about the program.
