ALUMNI ON THE FRONTLINES - Molly Baldwin ’71

Molly Baldwin ’71, founder and current Chief Executive Officer of the nonprofit Roca, recently shared news of their work on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic helping Baltimore youth and beyond. Their mission: to disrupt incarceration and poverty by engaging young adults, police, and systems at the center of urban violence by addressing trauma, finding hope, and driving change.

Her team was quoted in a recent update as saying, “We have furloughed a few of our Baltimore employees who could only operate within our facility and we are focusing strictly on the streets. We can’t stop—even during this time, crime hasn’t abated. Our Roca youth workers are absolutely committed to being consistently/safely out there and keeping our relationships and cognitive-behavioral work on track.

Many of our young men don’t keep up with health briefings and can’t be reached in traditional ways, so we are giving them that crucial information as well. Thanks to our strong relationships with them, we are finding they are actually very receptive, more so than we expected.”
