True You Maryland brings together partners in six rural Maryland counties—Allegany, Washington, Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester.

True You Maryland aims to achieve a…

  • 15% reduction in Maryland rural county birth rates; a
  • 10% reduction in Maryland rural county youth STI rates; and a
  • 20% reduction in racial disparities in Maryland rural county teen birth and STI rates.

True You Maryland intends to reach 4,378 high school youth, 876 youth in the community, and 438 parents/caregivers/trusted adults in Year 1 (2020-2021). See our logic model for more information on the project.

Even though True You Maryland is a state-level project, we are part of a national wide program of the Office of Population Affairs. See their website to learn more about other grantees and how they are changing the lives of young people across the country.

Please update this information on your quarterly report, as well as whenever a new staff person is added/removed from the project. Contact Shanise for staffing changes.
