| Overview
|
| University of Maryland, Baltimore intends to use its Community Outreach Partnership Centers New Directions grant to undertake a Community Building Initiative in East Baltimore. This Initiative will be a collaborative effort between the University, the catchment area's community based organizations, neighborhood associations and residents, and the City of Baltimore. The Initiative's theme is "diversity as strength," meaning that the area's multiculturalism is an asset, even if not a fully realized one. The overall focus is to assist the community in acquiring and implementing key knowledge and skills, which in turn will help with cooperative community capacity building. The Initiative has an Education Outreach Component, a Community Engagement Component, and a complimentary set of Research activities.
