The OSI Baltimore Community Fellowship Program assists individuals wishing to apply their education and professional experiences to serve marginalized communities. Applicants may either apply for a fellowship either to work under the auspices of a nonprofit organization in Baltimore City or to work independently. The goals are to encourage public and community service careers, expand the number of mentors and role models available to inner-city youth, and promote entrepreneurial initiatives that empower communities to increase opportunities and improve the quality of life for their residents.
