Restoring Hope in Baltimore

Restoring Hope in Baltimore

Across America, local organizations are bringing people together across divides to solve complex problems and renew the fabric of democracy. In Baltimore's Cherry Hill neighborhood, Michael and Danielle Battle share their journey to build community through their nonprofit Restoring Inner City Hope (RICH)—an organization which provides resources and opportunities for youth and young adults from across the city. Danielle and Michael Battle received the Aspen Institute’s 2022 Weaver award for their work to create connection, foster belonging and instill hope and dignity among Cherry Hill's residents.
