Baltimore Youth in Action
Our vision
Social entrepreneurship is the approach of using the best practices in both for profit and non-profit sectors to come up with innovative solutions to the various social and economic ills of our world.
More specifically, social entrepreneurs are socially conscious, business-minded individuals who identify chronic social, and economic problems that affect a certain community and use business principles to create for profit businesses and other social enterprises that address the root causes of these chronic ills.

How shall we make every houseworker and every laborer a demonstrator, a voter, a canvasser and a student? The dignity their jobs may deny them is waiting for them in political and social action.
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
