Testimonials
I attend the Baltic Street Resource Center to get my mind right to get support with different resources that can benefit me. The people that’s helping me is Jenny, Paul, and Andre and they are helping everyone get to their goals and get their mind right. It’s a place where you can get your mind right and feel yourself. It’s a supportive environment. You have people you can talk to, hang out, get on the computer, exercise. It stimulated the mind and makes you feel good. I got a phone call about Baltic and I checked it out and I found this was a good place, I got a tour and I started to make it a habit of coming here. I started telling Jenny about how the high school equivalency was something that was one of my goals so I had been coming to use the computer to study and study, and then they supplied me with a book and Andre encouraged to exam again even though I wasn’t sure if I would pass it. But I took a shot and I passed. And it wasn’t by luck, it was by me studying and preparing everyday at the Center and being able to take the book home and study at night at home and at the library. It wasn’t easy, but I feel that through all the attempts (7) it was a journey but it was well worth it because I succeeded and am moving forward to better things. They gave me access to Network Plus where they are helping me with employment services and Community links which can help me with the educational route. So overall it is beneficial to getting me connected with pinpointed directions that can help people get the advice and guidance we need to have the upper edge.”
“My experiences here have been awesome. You can come here and do music or art or watch movies. I’ve met great people here, great staff, great members. I was introduced to this place by a good friend named Jamal. He gave me a tour of the Center from April and it’s made me feel good. I love coming here. I look at this place like my sanctuary. Coming here makes me feel good being around good friends like Jamal and Naquan and being around good staff like Jenny and Andre who makes my day with his silly sense of humor. I like talking with him, like I said he makes my day lol. Jenny is a great person she’s very cool to talk to. I love coming here to do my art projects and drawing. I’m truly blessed to have met good friends and people. It puts a smile on my face.”
"Hi everyone! I love the Baltic Street Resource Center so much. I have recorded a ton of music here and really grown as a person. The staff is so encouraging and helpful, and have helped me in my writing and art. I even displayed some art at the center for a long time now. The center has helped me create art for my own art shows also. I have written so much here! And my music just keeps getting better and better. Thank you so much staff and clients!!!"
