About Us

Florence Crittenton Services of Baltimore is a private 501 (C ) (3) non-profit organization serving the entire state of Maryland and The district of Columbia. For many decades the agency focus was on unwed pregnant teenagers and young women who needed a “hiding” place while pregnant.
The mission expanded in the early 70”s to serve at-risk teen aged girls who needed pregnancy prevention skills and to parenting programs for teen mothers.

The agency is licensed by the Maryland Department of Human Resources as a large group home providing residential services to 38 teen girls and infants/toddlers. Additionally, the Mill School is licensed by the State Department of Education to teach grades 7 through 11 and GED preparation. There is an on-grounds school.

Referrals and funding come from The Departments of Juvenile Services and The Department Social Services. Referrals can only be accepted from these two funding sources.
