The University of Maryland Baltimore's (UMB) Community Engagement Center (CEC) is where UMB works hand-in-hand with neighbors to support them in achieving their career goals and giving children a safe place to learn and play. And it is equipped to partner with our community to reach our common goals of health, security, and well-being.
The CEC, is architecturally stunning, employing some of the original architectural elements of the historic 20,000-square-foot building at 16 S. Poppleton St.
To provide a safe and welcoming space that offers neighbor-identified quality opportunities to strengthen social connectedness, experiential/bidirectional learning, health consciousness, and improve historical mistrust.
Centered in human dignity, the Community Engagement Center and neighbors co-create opportunities of the highest quality so that everyone has the resources to live life to the fullest.
