BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- The Living Classrooms Foundation recently held a business management class for its workforce development participants at the Bauer Workforce Opportunity Center hosted by Dr. Eunice Moseley, executive director of the Uplifting Minds II Foundation to discuss becoming a business owner and to introduce it's One Stop Business Shop (1StopBizShop) program. The students in the class were introduced to the concept of business, its benefits, how what they are doing or being taught now can be turned into a business and the process of becoming a business owner. The ULMIIF's 1StopBizShop program guides and finances participants to becoming entrepreneurs.

Celebrating 40 years of community service, the Living Classrooms' mission is to strengthen communities and inspire children, youth and adults to achieve their potential through hands-on education. Since 1985, Living Classrooms Foundation has delivered innovative, hands-on learning experiences through education, job training, health and wellness, and community-based safety programs. Their programs support individuals of all ages as they work toward their personal and professional goals, contributing to stronger and more resilient communities. Programming occurs at multiple locations in Baltimore and Washington, DC, which have been developed in collaboration with residents in the surrounding neighborhoods, including their Community Hubs (UA House, POWER House, Park House, Bauer Workforce Development Center, and the James C. Dent House); outdoor education campuses that showcase urban green spaces and serve as natural learning laboratories; their public charter middle school; and their fleet of ships including active floating classrooms and stationary historic museum vessels that offer activities in STEM and cultural and maritime heritage.
