EXCLUSIVE — The public school system in the city of Baltimore used a youth ambassador program to help push students in the school district to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, documents show.
The documents, which were obtained by the parent activist group Parents Defending Education and shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner, show the youth ambassador program was part of the Baltimore Equitable Vaccination Initiative Project, which was funded through a $180,000 grant from the Alliance for Open Society International, a nonprofit organization founded by the billionaire and political megadonor George Soros.

In emails obtained by Parents Defending Education, staff from Baltimore City Public Schools, Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, and the nonprofit group discussed “having [a] collective group of youth ambassadors work together to increase COVID vaccine confidence and uptake amount young people.” The three entities also collaborated with the Rockefeller Foundation.
In a spreadsheet for the “grant roles and responsibilities,” the youth ambassador program was listed as a program designed to “coordinate youth vax outreach to create youth centered website and materials.”
The spreadsheet also said it was the responsibility of the grant recipient to “provide vaccination awareness to reduce vaccine hesitancy via various schoolbased workshops or sessions which may be co-facilitated with students.”
The grant funds were also used for an $8,000 vaccine incentives program, which would be used for giveaway items such as gift cards and food for workshop attendees and vaccine recipients; $2,000 was also spent on social media advertising.
