S.H.I.P. of Frederick County believes in the power and positive impact of education that will alter the trajectory of a life. Operating at the intersection of education and homelessness, SHIP works to reduce barriers to academic attainment for youth experiencing homelessness by connecting them to community, resources, and youth-centric programming, while advocating for equality in the systems that serve young people.

We rely upon the community (including human and community service organizations, businesses, educational institutions, government, and residents) to help us accomplish our task.
