Liberty’s Promise (LP) is proud to announce it has been selected to participate in Stand Together Foundation’s Catalyst Program, a management training and peer-learning program to help non-profits further their mission to transform communities. LP is one of 11 non-profits joining the Catalyst Community – a growing network of over 300 organizations across all 50 states working to transform the lives of more than one million Americans through bottom-up empowerment.

Madhura is an alumna of Liberty’s Promise at Wheaton High School class of 2011. She has since gone on to get a bachelor’s degree with a double major in Business Management and Information Systems at Salisbury University and recently received her MBA with a concentration in real estate finance from Saint Joseph’s University.

Aminta’s tenacity is all her own, but she speaks enthusiastically about the value of Ms. Escobar’s role, saying, “It’s great! Sometimes there are a lot of opportunities out there, but one does not know about them. Upon having the help, someone to be the guide, then one is encouraged to continue their education.”

LP shines this month's Alumni Spotlight on Ayline Deras, an alumna of the Northwood High School program in Montgomery County, MD.

Ayline graduated from Northwood High School in Spring 2022 and is one of our most recent recipients of the New Futures scholarship for $7,800! Ayline is going to Montgomery College to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice.
