BALTIMOREANS UNITED IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Rooted in Community. Committed to Change.
We believe in making Baltimore a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
We build power to effect change by developing leaders in congregations, public schools, and neighborhood associations to act together on issues that matter to their communities.
Together, we will BUILD . . .
A City for Youth
In recent years, BUILD leaders have won over $1 billion in school construction and $4.2 million in afterschool funding to support our city’s youth. And there’s more to come. Together, we will work with leaders across the state to increase youth opportunities for success.
A City That's Safe
BUILD leaders work with their local policing districts to build relationships and restore trust between communities and police. Together, we will secure equitable, constitutional, and relational policing in all neighborhoods across the city.
A City with Jobs
BUILD’s Turnaround Tuesday jobs movement is reshaping the employment paradigm in Baltimore City and beyond. Through relationships with key employers in the region, we will create jobs and secure living wages for all citizens.
A City for All
From fighting for affordable housing to protecting the security of our immigrant neighbors, BUILD is making Baltimore City a home for all people, regardless of status or creed. Together, we will build a welcoming city for all.
Get Involved
We are a broad-based, non-partisan, interfaith, multiracial community power organization rooted in Baltimore’s neighborhoods and congregations. That means there’s a place for everyone in BUILD. You can be part of the change in Baltimore City.
