Come Learn With Us

OMO is a community organization founded to support the mental and emotional health of our neighbors, near and far, by providing a digital social environment where children, teens, and adults can meet and learn together in volunteer-led sessions on a variety of subjects.
 January Schedule

Wednesday, January 12
Reminder: Señora Adriana will be back for more Spanish Club in February 
​
​7pm: Partner Event
Author Works: Lawrence Lanahan and The Lines Between Us (in-person), Central Branch Howard County Library
One of OMO's Book Talk picks in 2020, The Lines Between Us is a riveting narrative that compels reflection on America’s entrenched inequality—and on where the rubber meets the road not in the abstract, but in our own backyards. Taking readers from church sermons to community meetings to public hearings to protests to the Supreme Court to the death of Freddie Gray, Lanahan deftly exposes the intricacy of Baltimore’s hypersegregation through the stories of ordinary people living it, shaping it, and fighting it, day in and day out.

Why do you like OMO? Quotes from the socially-distant days
Faye - "I appreciate OMO for providing a place to feel connected - not just for the kids but the whole family. The news has been like a broken record on this point but we are living in unprecedented times - we are all making it up as we go. I love that OMO provides a space to find some normalcy, connection or even some well-needed laughter in what is otherwise a pretty scary time."
Levi, age 7- "You can learn new things while not even trying to self distance!!!"
Amelia, age 9- "All of the instructors are very nice and kind. And all of the subjects are very interesting."
Katie - "My child interacts with her community and has other people to engage with - some are teachers. That’s crucial right now. She picks the sessions that interest her, and that helps give her independence with her schedule. Both parents are working from home. We rely on OMO for normalcy and community."
