Welcome to BEN!
The Baltimore Education Network (BEN) believes that our public schools can only provide an excellent education to our students if families and community residents are engaged as full partners in the education process and its decision-making. BEN’s mission is to support families, youth, and community in creating the agenda for how their schools can improve and using their individual and collective power to move this agenda. To accomplish this mission, BEN:
- Provides access to education information,
- enhances participants’ skills through trainings and workshops and
- facilitates dialogue and collective action among individuals and organizations.
BEN is known in the community as a welcoming and constructive space for learning, discussing, and acting together on the issues impacting our schools. It models and seeks to create in Baltimore City a climate where authentic parent, youth, and community engagement is respected, valued, and nurtured, and contributes to the improvement of our public schools.
