Water Reduces Anxiety!

- Baltimore's youth are often surrounded by violence and anxiety-inducing stressors. Managing fear, stress, anxiety, and depression - all symptoms of PTSD can feel overwhelming.
In addition, Nature - the environment - and our wonderful waterways can provide a therapeutic approach to emotional healing.
We can offer our youth and adults a safe, relaxing space to gain a sense of self-confidence, learn how to collaborate with others, and creatively problem-solve.
Your donation today will provide a young person access to the water, experience their first catch, conserve local waterways, offer an opportunity to learn important life skills, be exposed to marine workforce development, and give them a sense of peace and healing.
Can they count on you today?

OPWWEE: BmoreWet!- Urban Fishing Clinics is our year-round after-school/summer program. OPWWEE: BmoreWet! is also designed to increase the minority employment population by 20% in the marine and natural resource industry, over the next ten (10) years.
OPWWEE will accomplish our goal, by providing minority, middle/high school youth access to Maryland waterways through boating, kayaking, fishing, aquaculture, NAMEPA- Adopt A Ship program, hydroponics, and environmental climate conservation efforts to aid in sanitation efforts (such as cleaning up the river, streams, local seashores, beaches, urban farming, and environmental field trips). Our strategic impact is to desensitize 5th-11th grade, underserved minority youth from their everyday PTSD and violence that plague their communities. Youth will de-escalate conflicts by fusing an outdoor living classroom with effective environmental emotional stress management tools.
