We had an amazing visit with our friends at the South Baltimore Learning Center (SBLC) today! They warmly welcomed us with a tour of their facility where we were able to see their great work in action.
The tour ended with a lively conversation session with adult learners from their program as well as several of the staff. It started with a welcoming from Executive Director Melissa Smith Directors Antoinette Kennedy and Zina Barr.
The students asked many questions from the challenges faced by adult learners to how the program operates. A focus was on the mission of the SBLC, their holistic approach to the participants in their program and their workplace culture and climate.
After the conversation, the staff kindly fed us lunch and gave the students gifts.
We made an instant connection with the folks from the South Baltimore Learning Center when we met them at an Associated Italian American Charities event. This was followed up by a visit to TCS from their senior staff as part of our “Conversation with… series.” The relationship just keeps growing stronger.
We appreciate SBLC’s important work providing opportunities for adults to improve their lives and are very thankful for their kindness to us.

Ken Bancroft shared his personal knowledge and experience with the Biology class today. The ninth and tenth grade students are studying human body systems. Currently they are focusing on the cardio-respiratory systems.
A part of our approach is to make all learning real and to illustrate this with stories that connect the learning to real life. Mr. Ken took a break from his volunteer duties checking math and shared with the class his personal health story with cardiac issues and procedures as well as his experience gained as the President of St. Agnes Hospital. It was very informative, held the students’ interest and added to their understanding.
Thank you Ken!

TCS Alum Dyrrell Moon joined the students for a Conversation on Friday. Dyrrell just got back from the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan where he was part of a monitoring team for recent national elections. This is part of the international work that Dyrrell has been doing since graduating from Howard University.

The students were especially interested because they are currently studying this part of the world as part of this year’s World Geography class.

It’s always a special occasion when TCS alumni come back to share their experiences with the current students. Thank you Dyrrell!

We have formed a partnership with a youth organization in Liberia, on the West Coast of Africa, called B4YT – Burning Barriers Building Bridges Youth Theatre. Today we had our 2nd Zoom session where our students met with their young people. This session was focused on education where each group sharing both their personal experiences and the situation in our respective cities and countries. It was a meaningful and educational experience for all.

We deeply appreciate the young people of B4YT and their staff Mr. Silas and Ms. Hannah and our own staff liaison Ms. Janiah for co-ordinating this effort. We also want to recognize and thank JHU Center for Social Concern Director Dr. Jasmine Blanks Jones who introduced our two groups.
