Teione Carroll
Director
Teione Carroll is a graduate of Lake Clifton High School in Baltimore, Maryland. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Wagner College. Teione has been working with youth in Baltimore City for 20 years. "Youth represent the ideas that go unnoticed and the voices that are not heard. My main goal is to bring those ideas to light so their voices can be heard and actions can be seen by acts of service. I want the youth to be able to express themselves and not allow their emotions to make decisions for them."
