Visit to the South Baltimore Learning Center
February 22, 2024
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.
