OneBaltimore strives to build upon new and existing collective efforts in each of four major areas: • Preparing the Workforce for Jobs we Target: There is no higher priority than to increase the number of Baltimoreans with meaningful work. While there are many workforce development initiatives underway in Baltimore, a broad collaborative to prepare disconnected youth for work in the mid-level tech industries and beyond requires a heightened focus and offers significant opportunity. In addition to jobs tagged for recipients of two and four year degrees, we must also prepare people for mid-level jobs available in sectors that are plentiful and accessible. • Building a Culture of Collaboration: We have vibrant and dedicated non-profit and foundation communities in Baltimore. The communities they are committed to serving are equally dedicated but most often lack sufficient resources to grow and to achieve sustainability in any meaningful way. OneBaltimore will commit to exploring ways to crack the silos in order to increase the connections between them so that collaboration is achievable and new working relationships can be formed. • Health & Public Safety: Baltimore has many effective health organizations, including a highly respected City Health Department. Working together these entities have the capacity to commit to a higher level of collaboration in support of children and families. Reducing illness and increasing life expectancy, regardless of zip code, needs to become a higher priority achieved through greater shared resource funding and collaboration. Likewise, Baltimore will not move forward if policing, criminal justice and juvenile justice reform doesn’t become a greater priority. All are needed if the City is to heal and go on to prosper. • Race & Inequality in Baltimore: Race continues to be an uncomfortable, yet it is an imperative topic we must embrace in our city and our nation. If we are to move our city forward, we must examine the historical and systemic factors unique to Baltimore that have made our city’s experience with race especially problematic.
