Spiritual Empowerment Center in Baltimore's Outreach

The Spiritual Empowerment Center in Baltimore reports:

Our outreach is in the form of service and co-sponsoring events with other non-profits.

On 13 October we are co-sponsoring OUTProud in celebration of National Coming Out Day. Our partners are Baltimore Black Gay Pride, GLCCB, University of Maryland STAR TREK program and the Better Life Foundation.

For World Day of Service we volunteered at My Sister's Place a shelter for homeless women and children. We have adopted that non-profit.

This past summer we hosted Financial Literacy Programs addressing homeownership, foreclosure mitigation, insurance, investing and credit restoration. These workshops were for the Greater Baltimore Community. Experts from each industry volunteered their time. We advertised and used our space.

Most recently we partnered with Maryland Institute College of Art to develop an exhibit for their MFA Curatorial Studies Program called: Congregate: Where Faith Meets the Arts. We had an artist in residence for six months and was assigned a student from the program. The exhibit opened on 25 September and closed 3 October. Now 10 or so of the very diverse student body attend our Center for meditation or Sunday Service. Not to mention that we are now involved in several other projects with the college.
