Living Classrooms Foundation implements community-driven, research-based, best practices that value the priorities and aspirations of our community members and deliver both opportunity and results. We provide hands-on learning opportunities for individuals of all ages at our Crossroads Public Charter Middle School, community centers, in our workforce development programming, aboard our historic ships, and in our urban green spaces. We endeavor to create both equitable access to opportunity and a sense of belonging in learning environments where students are safe, known, loved, and welcome.

Health & Wellness Partnership
Living Classrooms has joined GBMC, Gilchrist, and multiple community partners to improve access to medical care in our Target Investment Zone of East Baltimore.
In your neighborhood | The GBMC Health Partners Primary Care clinic in Jonestown takes a proactive approach to wellness with extended hours, an on-site blood lab, and a 24/7 portal to message your provider. The clinic provides primary care to patients of all ages starting at birth. GBMC can even provide a ride to and from your appointment.
In your home | If you or loved one is a senior with a serious illness and has difficulty traveling to appointments, Gilchrist will bring primary care to you. Gilchrist provides all the support you need to live life to the fullest including in-home visits from a medical provider, symptom management, medications, lab tests and x-rays, emotional support, education and 24/7 access to a nurse helpline. You can receive the care and attention you need in the comfort of your home.
