ABOUT US:
Empowering Families, Transforming Education
At NAME, INC., we are dedicated to ensuring that every child receives the meaningful education they deserve. We provide educational advocacy, tutoring, and resources to support families navigating the complexities of IEPs, 504 plans, and academic challenges.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where every student, regardless of background or ability, has access to the educational support, tools, and advocacy they need to thrive.
NAME, INC. started as Advocate Baltimore, a grassroots effort dedicated to supporting families in navigating the special education system. Our work began with a simple yet powerful mission: to ensure that every child receives the educational services and accommodations they are entitled to.
As Advocate Baltimore, we helped families understand their rights, prepare for IEP/504 meetings, and secure necessary educational supports for their children. However, as our impact grew, so did our vision. We realized that families needed more than just advocacy—they needed tutoring, resources, and hands-on guidance to empower their children beyond the school system.
To better reflect our expanding mission and the diverse ways we serve families, we evolved into Navigating Advocacy for Meaningful Education, INC. (NAME, INC.). This transition marked a significant step forward as we will begin offering:
✔️ Free tutoring services to strengthen student learning
✔️ Parent workshops & Power Hours to educate families on IEPs and 504 plans
✔️ Expanded advocacy support to guide parents in securing appropriate services
✔️ Community resources to equip families with tools for academic success
Though our name has changed, our commitment remains the same. We wan to be a guiding force for families advocating for their children’s education. At NAME, INC., we don’t just support families, we empower them to become lifelong advocates for their children’s success.
