The Door-Baltimore Urban Leadership Foundation

The Door, also known as Baltimore Urban Leadership Foundation, is a faith-based, non-profit organization in the East Baltimore area of Baltimore, MD, USA. It was started by former NFL player and Baltimore Colt Joe Ehrmann in 1986. According to a website hosted by the New Media Center of Loyola College (MD), the group provides services in three areas: community development, economic development, and church-building capacity.

I am most interested in the community development segment, which is the channel through which The Door delivers youth and family services. These services include a computer access.

Residents of East Baltimore have suffered from high unemployment and lack of educational attainment and opportunity. Currently, the area is undergoing revitalization through efforts led by East Baltimore Development Inc.
