Bridging Generations, Building Futures: Welcome to the Baltimore 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 to real-world knowledge that meets this moment—not just the textbooks of the past, but the digital landscape of today.

That’s why we’re launching the Baltimore Business School—a community-rooted program built for aspiring entrepreneurs, curious students, and long-time business owners who want to grow, adapt, and thrive in the digital era.

Whether you’re a high school student with a side hustle, a parent with a dream you’ve been putting off, or an elder who built a business before the internet changed everything—we see you. And we’re building this for you.

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.

What We’re Offering:

• Hands-on Workshops in branding, marketing, social media, e-commerce, and digital tools

• Mentorship Circles pairing youth with elders, and tech-savvy creatives with seasoned entrepreneurs

• Financial Literacy & Funding Access, demystified and delivered with care

• Community Coworking & Pop-Up Market Days to test your ideas and sell your goods

• Real Stories from Baltimore Entrepreneurs, the wins and the stumbles

  
  

The goal?

To empower people to not just start businesses—but to build ones that are resilient, ethical, and deeply rooted in their communities.

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 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.
