Our Impact

CHARM Lit Mag was founded by a group of teachers and their students in 2013, and has since produced 16 publications that feature the poetry, fiction, essays, and artwork students across public schools in Baltimore City. In addition to the magazine, we offer programming for middle and high school students both during and outside of the school day—each seeking to develop, inspire, and amplify student voice.
