Adult Learning Center

General information

Strong City Baltimore takes a holistic approach to building and strengthening neighborhoods and people. As the largest sponsor of AmeriCorps VISTA members in Maryland, Strong City’s influence extends to dozens more nonprofits and government agencies. Our Non-Profit Business Services program also supports over 100 programs throughout the city.

We make neighborhoods, schools, people, and organizations stronger. We make Baltimore stronger.

Strong City does not believe in quick fixes to complex problems. Experience has shown us that lasting change is achieved by supporting neighborhood leaders, fostering civic engagement, and building community.

Strong City’s site-based community school coordinators support teachers, administrators and parents to augment services, identify resources, and help schools become neighborhood hubs. Strong City’s programs and partnerships increase individuals’ capacity to succeed. Our Adult Learning Center is the second-largest citywide provider of adult basic education and ESOL classes.

Over the last decade, we have become a citywide force with expertise in numerous areas: managing the VISTA program, working to strengthen local schools, facilitating neighborhood revitalization work block by block, providing adult literacy programs, running a community center, and supporting dozens of local nonprofits with fiscal sponsorship and back-office services.

Although this work is diversified, it is unified: All of Strong City Baltimore’s activities have the common purpose of making our city’s people and neighborhoods stronger.
