Bridging Generations, Building Futures: Welcome to the Baltimore Community Business School

In a city full of ideas, creativity, and hustle, the only thing many aspiring entrepreneurs are missing is access.

Access to tools, mentorship, time, and real-world knowledge that meets this moment.

That’s why we’re launching the Baltimore Community Business School—a community-rooted program built for aspiring entrepreneurs, changemakers, and those who want to grow a sustainable and just local economy.

This isn’t your typical business school.

You won’t need a fancy degree or deep pockets. You just need a spark—and a willingness to learn, share, and build alongside others.

The goal?

To empower people to not just start businesses—but to become empowered to actively participate in building a resilient, ethical, and sustainable local economy.

Because when we bridge generations, knowledge flows both ways. And when we center the values of collaboration over competition, our economy becomes more than transactions—it becomes transformation.

At Baltimore Community Commons, we believe everyone deserves the chance to build something meaningful. The Baltimore Community Business School is our way of saying: You don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s learn. Let’s teach. Let’s grow together.

Applications open soon.

Interested in participating, teaching, or supporting? Reach out. This is a school built by and for Baltimore.
