Mission
To empower east Baltimore communities with life-enriching programs for youth and older adults

08/24/2026

Banner’s older adults showed off their creative side during our recent Sip & Paint activity! From colorful canvases to great conversation and lots of laughter, it was a wonderful opportunity to relax, have fun, and spend time together.

Because staying connected and trying something new are important parts of aging well!

WHAT A SUMMER AT BANNER!

Our Summer 2026 Newsletter is here, and we’re celebrating a season filled with learning, exploration, connection and unforgettable experiences across generations!

Our YouthWorks participants strengthened their workforce skills, explored career pathways and put entrepreneurship into action—ending the summer by creating, marketing and selling their own products at a Pop-Up Marketplace.

Our Go Kids Go campers stayed active and curious all summer long—learning lacrosse, exploring science at Johns Hopkins University, visiting Whitelock Community Farm and cooling off at Patterson Park Pool.

Our older adults stayed active, engaged and connected through social and wellness activities, while Banner continued providing resources and support to help older residents safely age in place.

Different generations. Different experiences. One mission.

Together, these moments represent what Banner is all about—creating opportunities for East Baltimore residents to learn, grow, connect and thrive.

Check out our Summer Newsletter for highlights from an incredible summer and a look at the impact happening across our programs.

What an incredible way to wrap up this summer's YouthWorks Baltimore Program!

After spending the summer building workplace readiness skills, exploring career pathways, and learning what it takes to become an entrepreneur, our YouthWorks participants put their hard work into action by hosting their very own Pop-Up Market at the Safe Haven.

From custom apparel and press-on nails to delicious baked goods, handcrafted candles, original paintings, and more, our young entrepreneurs proudly showcased the businesses they created from the ground up. Every product represented hours of creativity, planning, problem-solving, and determination.

The Pop-Up Market wasn't just about making sales—it was about building confidence, developing leadership skills, and demonstrating what's possible when young people are given the tools, mentorship, and opportunity to succeed.

As we close out another amazing YouthWorks summer, we're incredibly proud of each participant for embracing new challenges, supporting one another, and turning their ideas into reality.

Congratulations to all of our young entrepreneurs—we can't wait to see where your journey takes you next!

💙 Goodbye, Safe House. Thank you for the memories.

Five years ago, Banner Neighborhoods Community Corporation opened our Preston Street community center.

The young people who spent time there gave it a name that said it all: The Safe House.

And it truly was.

Thanks to an investment of more than $700,000, it became a vibrant space for East Baltimore residents of all ages.

❤️ Youth came to learn, grow, build friendships, explore careers through YouthWorks, try different sports, and receive mentorship.
💙 Older adults gathered for Senior Prom, Bingo and Music Bingo, wellness workshops, educational programs, holiday celebrations, and meaningful connection.

For five years, it was more than a building—it was community.

Last Friday, we held our final YouthWorks and Go Kids Go summer camp programs in the Safe Haven.

While it’s heartbreaking to leave, rising costs and nearly doubled rent make it no longer sustainable.

The Safe House is closing, but Banner’s mission continues.

💙 Thank you to everyone who made it special.
💙 Thank you to WJZ for helping share our story.

B-I-N-G-O... with a musical twist!

Our older adult participants recently came together for an afternoon of Music Bingo, where every song brought smiles, laughter, and a little friendly competition! 🎤💙

Activities like Music Bingo do more than entertain—they help reduce social isolation by creating meaningful connections while also supporting cognitive health through memory recall, listening skills, and mental engagement. From recognizing favorite tunes to cheering each other on, everyone enjoyed an afternoon filled with joy, conversation, and community.

At Banner, we're committed to creating opportunities that keep our older adults active, connected, and thriving.

Because staying socially engaged is just as important as staying physically healthy!

Our Go Kids Go campers took a break from learning the exciting game of lacrosse for an unforgettable STEM adventure at Johns Hopkins University's Earth and Planetary Sciences Lab!

Campers had the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of geology, fossils, minerals, and planetary science while learning from experts about how our Earth—and beyond—has evolved over millions of years. From examining incredible rock and mineral specimens to discovering the science behind our planet, the experience sparked curiosity and inspired young minds to think like scientists.

We love providing opportunities that expose our youth to new experiences, expand their horizons, and show them the many exciting paths they can pursue in the future.

A huge thank you to the team at Johns Hopkins University for welcoming our campers and making science come alive through hands-on learning!

Learning. Exploring. Growing.

07/24/2026

Our YouthWorks participants recently had the opportunity to visit the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, where they explored the rich history, culture, and achievements of Black Marylanders and beyond.

From inspiring exhibits to meaningful conversations, the experience encouraged our young people to reflect on the importance of leadership, resilience, innovation, and community. Learning outside the classroom helps broaden perspectives, spark curiosity, and connect history to the world around us.

At Banner Neighborhoods, we're committed to providing experiences that prepare our youth not only for the workforce, but also to become informed, engaged, and empowered leaders in their communities.

A special thank you to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for creating a welcoming space where history comes alive and inspires the next generation!

When the temperatures rise, we know just what to do! 💙☀️

Our Go Kids Go campers spent the day earlier in the week at Patterson Park Pool soaking up the sunshine, splashing in the water, and staying cool during Baltimore's summer heat. Days like these remind us that summer camp is about more than fun—it's about creating joyful experiences, building friendships, and giving young people opportunities to explore their community.

We can't wait to see what adventure comes next!

Learning beyond the classroom! 🛠️

Banner's YouthWorks participants took a break from learning the essential workplace skills needed to succeed on the job and headed out for an exciting tour of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Apprenticeship School.

During the visit, participants got a firsthand look at the skilled trades, explored apprenticeship opportunities, and learned about career pathways that offer competitive wages, hands-on training, and long-term growth. Experiences like these help our young people connect what they're learning today with the opportunities that await them tomorrow.

A huge thank you to the Local 486 Plumbers & Steamfitters Apprenticeship Training School for welcoming our students and inspiring the next generation of skilled professionals!

🌱☀️ A day of learning, growing, and exploring at WhiteLock Community Farm!

Our Go Kids Go Summer Camp participants had an incredible time visiting one of Baltimore City's thriving urban farms, where they learned firsthand about sustainable agriculture, healthy food, and the importance of caring for our environment. From exploring the gardens to discovering how fresh fruits and vegetables are grown, every moment was filled with curiosity, hands-on learning, and fun.

Experiences like these help our young people connect with nature, understand where their food comes from, and inspire healthier communities for the future.

A huge thank you to the team at WhiteLock Community Farm for welcoming us and sharing your knowledge and passion with our campers! 💚🌿
