The late Congressman Elijah E. Cummings devoted his life to empowering others and building bridges across communities. Known for his unwavering commitment to justice, mentorship, and lifting the next generation, Congressman Cummings believed deeply in the potential of young people to create transformative change. The Rising Voices Society continues his legacy by investing in Baltimore’s emerging leaders and fostering the same spirit of bridge-building that defined his remarkable career.

What is the Rising Voices Society?

The Rising Voices Society supports the next generation of leaders through sustained monthly giving, named in recognition of the transformative power of the local youth in the 7th congressional district of Baltimore who are committed to the ECYP program.
Each month, The Rising Voices Society community of donors continues to invest—not only through financial support, but through active engagement in the work of ECYP. Baltimore’s next generation of leaders needs partners like you to amplify their voices. Please join us today.
