The Choice Program at UMBC is a mentoring, diversion, and workforce development program serving young people across Maryland. For nearly 40 years, Choice has partnered with youth and families to strengthen communities through innovative, family-focused strategies that connect young people to opportunities for positive choices. Generations of UMBC students have engaged with Choice youth—most often through College Nights, a longstanding and meaningful tradition for CEL students. 

Choice's work extends beyond direct services. We also advocate for policy and legislative change during the Maryland General Assembly, which begins today Wednesday, January 14. Our policy agenda is grounded in our core values and guided by an explicit commitment to anti-racism.

We acknowledge that the legacy of white supremacy culture continues to disadvantage Black and Latine youth. Choice works to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities (RED) in Maryland’s youth-serving systems. While Black and Latine youth make up 47.2 % of Maryland’s overall youth population, they account for 90.6 % of youth in detention—a figure that represents an 11 % increase in the past decade.*

In 2021, Choice ratified the following issues as our advocacy and policy priorities:

Disrupt the School to Prison Pipeline 
  • Due process with the use of reportable offenses
  • Police free schools
  • Decriminalize disruptive behavior

Reform Youth Legal System 
  • Stop the automatic charging of youth as adults
  • Remove barriers for diversion
  • Close youth prisons

Embrace Positive Youth Development 
  • Invest in culturally-responsive, trauma-informed wellness practices
  • Change the narrative about youth from under-resourced communities
  • Mentor, hire and offer youth internship opportunities

We will continue to work for systems changes in Annapolis during the next 90 days. If you are curious about how you may engage with youth legal system reforms–from writing your legislator to attending a rally–please contact me: kquinn@umbc.edu 

In solidarity, --Kelly Quinn, Ph.D. Managing Director

The Community Leadership program has openings in the following Spring 2026 courses. Taught by subject matter experts, the Community Leadership Skills Courses emphasize practical skills, deep dives into crucial topics, and take only 5 weeks to complete! Undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to sign up.

CLDR 410-01, Events & Programming as Inclusive Process with Ashley Bush (Baltimore City Parks & Recreation) and Katie Long (Friends of Patterson Park).  
When/Where: Wednesday nights, 4:30 - 7:00pm, 1/28/26 - 2/25/26 at the Lion Brothers Building classroom in Southwest Baltimore City (on the UMBC shuttle route).
Course Description: This course will guide students through the steps of program development and implementation that reflects community culture and priorities. "Events and Programming as Inclusive Process" seeks to help students develop programming which connects multiple communities through shared activities and spaces, and addresses the importance of creating programs and events which respond to community needs, feedback, and assets. The course will equip students with an understanding of the concept of inclusive programming and the value of community engagement to create sustainable community programs and events.

CLDR 410-02, Asset Based Community Development with Jess Wyatt (UMBC Alumni Relations and Asset-Based Community Development Institute)
When/Where: Wednesday nights, 4:30 - 7:00pm, 3/4/26 - 4/8/26 at the Lion Brothers Building classroom in Southwest Baltimore City (on the UMBC shuttle route).
Course Description: This course will address the fundamentals of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD), how to practically implement ABCD in students' daily professional practice while developing a community of practice using ABCD, as well as, becoming ABCD practitioners in the field. Working through an ABCD process, participants can move towards whole-community mobilization through mapping the capacities assets of individuals, associations, and institutions while building relationships.

CLDR 410-03, Budgeting for Community Impact with Candace Chance (Baltimore Nonprofit Strategist and Director of the Vision, Performance & Impact Firm)
When/Where: Wednesday nights, 4:30 - 7:00pm, 4/15/26 - 513/26 at the Lion Brothers Building classroom in Southwest Baltimore City (on the UMBC shuttle route).
Course Description: Have you heard the saying, Put your money where your mouth is? If not, it is a saying that means to follow through on something you said. Organizations say a lot through their marketing, their grant proposals, and ultimately through their vision, mission, and values. But there's one major way to see if they're really walking the walk or just talking: their BUDGET! An organization's budget is their accountability to the things that they say. This course will teach students how to align their values and their intended impact with their budgets so that they can stand in integrity.

If you have any questions, you can reach out to Sally Scott (sjscott@umbc.edu) and Devin Wilkins (devinw2@umbc.edu).

Register today!
If you are still looking for an upper-level elective for Spring 26, this new course, ASIA/GLBL 304: Global Research in East Asia, might be of interest! 

This upper level GLBL Thematic Elective course is cross-listed in Asian Studies and will also double count as an Media and Communications Studies elective for GLBL/MCS double majors

In conjunction with this course, Professor Ta is also developing an exciting summer study abroad program in Taiwan that may involve multimodal storytelling, tour design, and other engaging assignments. 

Course description: 
       East Asia is a key region of global cultural, economic, and political significance. Transformations in China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan illustrate both global change and local adaptation, while their development models influence Southeast Asia through expanding trade and investment. The Asia Pacific's shared historical and cultural legacies are further deepened by media technologies that connect new generations. 
      This course explores major shifts since the new millennium, including capital flows, neoliberal restructuring, labor, intimacy, education, mobility, urbanization, food, environmental health, and global cultural engagement, which shape new class, gender, and cultural identities in the region and the world.
      Drawing from multiple disciplines, students analyze common challenges and differences across East Asian societies and conduct original research on relevant topics from a global/regional lens. 

This course will meet MW 4-5:15pm, please see the flyer for additional course information.
