Open Mic Night with Awaken Aurora Ministries<\/h2><\/div>

In Anne Arundel County there are many organizations that are looking to help students and families be successful. Awaken Aurora Ministries is one of those organizations. It is an non-profit dedicated to helping underprivileged members of the Anne Arundel County community. The organization was founded with the goal of addressing the needs of the most vulnerable members of our community. They offer a variety of services, including a food assistance program, access to public services and education resources, and volunteer opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

We had the opportunity to speak with Melinda Topjian of Awaken Aurora Ministries. She shared her dedication to the Anne Arundel County community and especially for the youth of the county. She is looking forward to helping AACPS students share their voices.\u00a0 This September, the organization will be hosting an Open Mic night at the Stanton Community Center<\/a> to showcase the voices of the community. Ms. Topjian has planned the event with hopes of making it a monthly staple where the event will be hosted at venues around the county.<\/p>\n

For the September event, there will be prizes available for participants that place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.<\/p>\n

All interested individuals must register in advance to qualify for the prizes.<\/p>\n
