Baltimore, Md. (June 30, 2026) -- Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore (BGCMB) is proud to announce that Chief Operating Officer Jesse Schaefer has been named to the Baltimore Business Journal's 2026 40 Under 40, recognizing the region's most accomplished young leaders for their professional achievements, leadership, and community impact.

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to explore their future and envision what comes next after high school. This spring, Club teens from our Club at Leonards Lane in Cambridge took an important step in that journey through a series of college field trips designed to introduce them to higher education, career pathways, and life beyond graduation.

Our Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore at O'Donnell Heights recently hosted a powerful Mental Health Awareness event that brought youth, families, partners, and community members together for a day centered on wellness, connection, and positivity.
