Thread Baltimore

Thread is a super fast-moving, vision-driven community that is focused on positive outcomes. We believe in a Baltimore that is grounded in relationships across lines of race, class, and zip code. We want a more equitable city. Our community is over 2,000 strong with a central staff of 50 people that are unapologetically driven.

Thread staff is made up of strategic connectors, not of resource experts - we are a platform to empower the wider Thread community. We are data-centric and utilize numbers as a way to inform our practices towards our outcomes, but never let the numbers be the outcome. We believe consistent small acts create big difference. Read more about us here.

Our Thread community is hard-working, collaborative, and passionate about building community in Baltimore. We go all in with care, compassion, and empathy. We believe small acts make a big difference. Thread’s home base is located inside the TouchPoint Baltimore, a co-working space at Mondawmin Mall.
