Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Provide services and programs for youth and adults in our area who are disengaged and are not able to connect to services elsewhere.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community Center
Brunswick's population is projected to nearly double by the end of the decade. We have outgrown our town's limited space for community-based organizations to meet and operate.
We need a hub - a center for our youth and our seniors. We need a home for our artists and our makers. We need a resource for those needing a helping hand and for those already striding ahead.
Brunswick C-Lab
Community Computer Lab offering educational and training programs for youth and adults.
Young Writers Program
Program for area youth to spark creativity! Weekly gatherings that focus on creating characters, story arcs, world building and other elements necessary to write stories.
Summer Youth Theater Program
Shakespeare play for middle and high school students.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
New Hope Community Partnership's primary goal is to open and operate a community center in Brunswick, Maryland to serve the needs of the community.
Additionally, we aim to offer programs, activities and services including:
-A Computer Lab will give residents the opportunity to create resumes, search for jobs, apply for services, take online classes and learn computer skills.
-Community health nurse to provide health education, smoking cessation programs, drug abuse intervention, inoculations, and diseaase preventitive measures.
-Cooking and nutrition classes and demonstrations such as diabetic menu planning and meal prep, healthy eating for children and families and healthy dieting.
-Personal and family financial classes, budgeting, credit counseling, home buyer seminars, retirement planning, paying for college and tax preperation basics.
-Dance and performance space for classes, community theater groups, small concerts and other performance art activities.
-Additional activities and programs for youth, in particular, activities for middle and high school studens for weekends, after-school and summer months, such as clubs, games, and STEM-related opportunities.
-Mental health counseling services.
-Senior programs and classes.
-Social services, homeless and veterans assistance programs.
-Offer additional art and culture activities to the public.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
New Hope Community Partnership is working with representatives of local, state and federal government, local charitable organizations and public donors to achieve our goals and realize our mission. We are working with our State Senator to obtain a Bond Bill from the Maryland General Assembly, matching funds from private foundations and local philanthropists and donations for ongoing operating expenses.
Funding for the purchase of a site/building will take significant time. However, NHCP is pursuing services and programs prior to opening of a community center, at different venues throughout Brunswick, in partnership with other charities.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Board of Directors of New Hope Community Partnership has significant experience working hard to help those in need and better our local community. One director is a member of our City Council, another is a member of the clergy that manages the local food bank. All directors have experience in managing nonprofit organizations. In addition, we have a team of committed volunteers who are working to make the dream of a Brunswick Community Center a reality. We also have the buy in of local government and the public who have attended our public meetings.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since our founding in April of 2016, we have sponsored a community art contest, attended several community events to engage members of the public, hosted a family game night for First Fridays, and reached out to government representatives and community organizations. As of the writing of this report (December 2016) we next plan to 1) open a computer lab and 2) host community concerts in early 2017.
