Meet Donovan, not only an alum of our Work-Based Learning Experience ( ) program, but a fabulous member of our City Seeds Kitchen serving the Maryland Freestate ChalleNGe Academy at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Donovan is the first participant of our program to be accepted into the University of Maryland, College Park! Through 's TerpsEXCEED program, Donovan will participate in the college experience for two years, ultimately earning a certificate beginning this fall. Donovan is particularly excited about attending UMD for the chance to attend their basketball games, as he himself was a star player for his high school team, Joppatowne High School.

Donovan joined our WBLE program in 2022 when he discovered it through one of his special educators. From the start, Donovan was determined to make the most of this opportunity. He credits Ms. Tasha and Humanim’s Youth Transition Services staff for guiding him every step of the way as he navigated through the program to find the right internship.

Through the program, Donovan gained practical skills that he can easily apply in any future career. He also learned to work effectively in groups, operate independently, and thrive in fast-paced environments. Donovan’s grandmother describes him as “self-motivated” and “never afraid to do things on his own,” two traits that naturally prepare him for any professional challenges he may face.

Among his various internships, Donovan found his calling at the City Seeds kitchen, where he began working in food services. Preparing meals for the cadets of the Freestate ChalleNGe Academy, Donovan quickly adapted to the role and found it to be a perfect fit. Initially, he faced challenges with tasks like sweeping and mopping, but with his coworkers’ guidance, Donovan learned to perform these duties effectively. His perseverance paid off when, after just a few weeks of interning, he was offered a permanent position.

Our are a family! That's especially true for the three generations of the kitchen team members working for City Seeds, a Humanim social enterprise, serving the Freestate ChalleNGe Academy: Brenda Clash, her daughter Niki Crawford and Niki’s son Omarion Crawford.

It’s a family affair in the Edgewood kitchen where Humanim prepares meals for young people in the Freestate program.

Brenda, affectionately known as Ms. B or Momma B around the kitchen, is a cook and assistant manager who has been with Humanim for over a year but has been working in kitchens for decades.

Daughter Niki Crawford joined the Humanim team at Edgewood about ten months ago. Her son, Omarion, started a couple months later, and all three enjoy the chance to team up to serve young people in the program.

“I love working with my mom. I’ve been working with my mom for years,” Niki says.

Meet Chelsea Thomas, a dedicated assistant manager at the City Seeds kitchen in Edgewood.

In her role as a cook and assistant manager at the City Seeds kitchen, Chelsea Thomas focuses on the young people she’s feeding who are taking part in the Freestate ChalleNGe Academy. That means getting to know them and supporting them as they navigate a demanding program.

“I really enjoy building a relationship with the boys and girls in the program,” she says. “They may only see me for an hour, but I do see the impact I have on them. When I see them, they’re excited.”

She also makes sure they are well fed. “I value just making sure the meals are cooked right; these kids are staying here for five months. They’re away from their families and it’s a different diet. I just value making sure I’m cooking the food properly and it tastes good. If they’re dealing with something else in the program, at least they get a good meal. That can help with a lot of issues.”
