About Us

Baltimore Family Alliance’s mission is to support families living in Baltimore City. We achieve our mission by connecting communities, empowering families to advocate for great schools, and compiling free resources to make parenting in the city easier. ​

Who We Are

Baltimore Family Alliance is an independent 501c3 non-profit ofdedicated to connecting families, building community, and strengthening Baltimore. We believe that when families thrive, cities thrive. When families have opportunities to meet, build friendships, and support one another, they are more likely to put down roots and make Baltimore their home.

Through fun, free events and community-building opportunities, we create welcoming spaces where families can connect, children can play, and lasting relationships can grow. These connections help families feel a greater sense of belonging while building the support networks that make navigating family life a little easier. We are building more than events. We are building a community where families feel welcomed, supported, and connected.

We believe that strong families help build strong neighborhoods, and strong neighborhoods help build a stronger Baltimore By fostering meaningful connections and creating opportunities for families to engage with one another, Baltimore Families Alliance is helping make Baltimore not just a place where families live, but a place where they thrive!
