Quote of the Day

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Mentor. Inspire. Impact. Join Bowie’s Teen Mentor Program Today

The Bowie Youth & Family Services invites caring adults to volunteer for its Teen Mentor Program—a rewarding opportunity to invest in the future of Bowie’s youth. With a time commitment of just one hour a week during the 2025–2026 school year mentors meet with students during lunch breaks to build trust, offer encouragement, and provide a consistent, positive presence.

Mentoring isn’t just beneficial for teens—it’s enriching for mentors too. Volunteers often report increased fulfillment, a stronger connection to their community, and a sense of purpose knowing they’re helping young people grow in confidence, resilience, and academic motivation.

Whether you’re retired, working, or somewhere in between, you can make a lasting impact in a teens life. No special background is needed—just a willingness to listen, guide, and care.

Help shape a brighter future in Bowie.

Attention Bowie Business Owners: Get Ready for the Bowie Directory Launch!

Bowie’s business landscape is always evolving—just think of once-popular spots like Old Bowie Town Grille, Sears, GameStop, and Pier 1 Imports that have come and gone. Now more than ever, it’s vital for local businesses to stay visible and connected. That’s why we’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of the Bowie Directory—a new online resource designed to spotlight businesses right here in our community.

With a free basic listing, the Bowie Directory will help residents discover local shops, services, and entrepreneurs with ease. Businesses will gain greater exposure, improved search visibility, and local customers.
