Baltimore City Extension Advisory Committee: Connecting Resources, Empowering Communities
The Baltimore City Extension Advisory Committee plays a crucial role in guiding the University of Maryland Extension’s efforts to address the unique needs and opportunities within Baltimore's urban landscape. Serving as a bridge between community stakeholders, extension educators, and the University, the Committee ensures that Extension programs remain relevant, responsive, and impactful for Baltimore’s diverse population.
The Committee advises on program development in areas such as urban agriculture, community gardening, youth development, nutrition education, and economic growth. By gathering insights from residents, organizations, and local leaders, the Committee helps Extension design initiatives that tackle pressing challenges—from food access and public health to environmental sustainability and workforce development.
Additionally, the Baltimore City Extension Advisory Committee advocates for the value of Extension services and helps to connect resources that support sustainable, community-driven solutions. Through its collaborative and inclusive approach, the Committee empowers Baltimore residents, enhances local partnerships, and champions urban resilience for a brighter, healthier city.
