Community Programs at University of Baltimore

University initiatives include AmeriCorps VISTA Incentive Awards and the Community Development Fellowship Program, which connect students with real-world experiences in urban revitalization and applied research. Additionally, the college collaborates with the Jessup Correctional Institution for the Second Chance College Program, enabling incarcerated individuals to pursue education upon release. The Sustainable Cities Initiative involves the college and the Jacob France Institute in developing strategies for Baltimore’s sustainable development. The city serves as a “built-in” laboratory for students to apply theoretical knowledge and create positive change. The Student Professional Development Fund further supports students by providing grants for conference travel and contributions to professional associations.
