returning citizen work-ready employment program (RCE) in partnership with truist bank

Greater Baltimore Urban League (GBUL) is honored to announce our legendary innovative pilot, "Returning Citizen Work-Ready Employment Program (RCE)" in partnership with TRUIST Bank.
​
Our mission is to enable African Americans and other minorities to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights. Founded in Baltimore in 1924, GBUL is an affiliate of the National Urban League, which was founded in 1910. Our three-pronged approach for pursuing the mission is: 
  • Ensuring that our children are well-educated and equipped for economic self-reliance;
  • Helping adults attain economic self-sufficiency through good sustainable jobs, home ownership, entrepreneurship and wealth accumulation; 
  • Ensuring our civil rights by eradicating all barriers to equal participation in the economic and social mainstream of America.
In recent years, evidence-based criminal justice practices have demonstrated promising strategies for connecting hard-to-employ people to work, particularly among recently released prisoners. With mounting research, it is clear there are significant benefits for our communities in working with this population. Evidence shows that successful reintegration into the workforce can make neighborhoods and families safer and more stable. In its 2012 report, the U.S. Department of Education reported extensively that supporting education and career advancement training for low-skill individuals in corrections is a critical factor towards successful community re-entry programs. 

Through our RCE, GBUL is committed to ensuring safe and successful transition from incarceration to the community since we firmly believe that despite being challenging and complex, re-entry is more than staying out of jail or prison, in that it involves reuniting families, eliminating barriers to employment by providing essential skills, and facilitating the support of locating stable housing.

Baltimore, MD, May 21, 2019 --The Greater Baltimore Urban League has selected and appointed Ms. Shymaine Davis as its new innovative Director of the Greater Baltimore Urban League’s Raymond V. Haysbert Center for Entrepreneurship. The Director is responsible for curating and conducting workshops, seminars, and individual counseling and mentoring for the  development of entrepreneurs in Baltimore City.

Davis, a native Baltimorean, brings extensive experience in financial management and community development to this exciting role. For the past 15 years, Davis has committed her career and volunteer services to working with organizations to fulfill their mission. Some of Davis’ most distinguished projects were assisting with the building acquisition of Langston Hughes Business Community Resource Center serving the Park Heights community, as well as the opening of the Dr. Angela Y. Davis Leadership Academy for over-aged middle school students in Baltimore City. She works with a host of organizations in assisting with financial management, establishing systems/policies, and strategizing growth through microlending and small business loans, grants and contracts.

Plans for GBUL’s Haysbert Center for Entrepreneurship under Director Davis include the new and improved, Innovative Business Summit to occur in the fourth quarter. Our Business Summit  will showcase the release of the Greater Baltimore Urban League’s annual report, “The State of Black Baltimore 2019.” Remain up to date with GBUL’s events, workshops and seminars by visiting our website www.haysbertcenter.gbul.org.
