Our Programs

The B’More Community Bound pre-orientation program is an immersive, service-learning, and leadership development experience for incoming First-Year JHU students. First-Years gain a deeper understanding of social justice issues and civic engagement as they relate to Baltimore City.

During B’More Community Bound, students participate in a series of educational workshops, direct service projects with community partners, reflection sessions, and leadership development activities.

Run by the Center for Social Concern and supported by the Summer and Intersession Programs Office, B’More is an annual intersession program that invites First-Years, staff, faculty, and Community Co-Educators to think about different ways to engage with Baltimore City through a Community Based-Learning (CBL) lens.

The Community Impact Internships Program (CIIP) is a summer internship program that pairs undergraduate students with non-profit organizations and government agencies to work on community-identified projects in Baltimore. The program offers a cohort-based learning environment. The program runs from June to August.

In addition, students and community partners have the opportunity to extend their connections into the academic year through CIIP Extension.

The Engaged Scholar Faculty & Community Partner Fellows Program is a cohort-based program that facilitates the development and implementation of mutually beneficial Community-Based Learning (CBL) courses.

Meanwhile, browse SIS using the tag, “CSC-CE” if you are interested in taking a CBL course. Read though this year’s faculty fellows’ courses here.

Hop Talks is a series that enhances the community’s understanding of complex political and social issues, develops participants’ ability to engage in constructive dialogue and discussion, and encourages participants to collaboratively develop strategies to address issues that are important to them, and consider how these issues may affect the campus community.
