Community Partner: Central Baltimore Partnerships
Intern: Miguel Dias
Site Supervisor: Ashley Wallace
What is Central Baltimore Partnerships?.
Central Baltimore Partnership's mission is to galvanize the renaissance of
Central Baltimore.
This summer I have had the privilege to meet and
work with an extraordinary and passionate group of
individuals that are strengthening and building
Central Baltimore. This network of artists,
entrepreneurs, residents, organizations and
community members share a common passion to
make Baltimore neighborhoods healthier, more
livable and more sustainable. I have had the
opportunity to see the firsthand the unique, holistic
approach Central Baltimore Partnership translates to
the community; all the way from grass‐roots
community organizing to City wide public policy
implementation. Every day at Central Baltimore
Partnership I was exposed to new experiences, skills
and perspectives, be it through door knocking
campaigns or collaborating with other community
partners on grant applications. I am extremely
thankful for both CIIP and the CBP team for giving me
the opportunity to learn, experience and explore
Baltimore this summer‐ Miguel
