Guided by our core motto, We Believe We Can Achieve, the BAAM Academic Center on Jowite Street is where education, innovation, and community come together. Built to break down systemic barriers for local youth and families across Easton and Talbot County, the Academic Center is a safe, inclusive hub designed to unlock every student’s full potential.

How We Empower Our Community

More than a traditional facility, the Academic Center delivers hands-on enrichment for youth from elementary school through high school, alongside vital adult education:

• 21st-Century Tech & Arts: Dedicated spaces for eSports, podcasting, music production, digital art, and hands-on STEM learning.

• Academic & Career Pathways: Tutoring, college and career readiness, and entrepreneurship opportunities that prepare students for real-world success.

• Culture & Local Roots: A specialized library highlighting African American history, culture, and storytelling, plus a commercial kitchen supporting local food entrepreneurs.

• Wraparound Family Support: Comprehensive health and wellness programs, adult education, and parenting classes integrated seamlessly with our Athletic Center.

    A Glimpse of What’s Next

Building on the success of our Jowite Street campus, BAAM is expanding to Moton Street. Our upcoming Campus Annex will feature a dedicated Career & Technology Center—bringing hands-on vocational trade education, interactive green spaces, and new economic opportunities to our neighborhood. Together, we are building a stronger, brighter future for Easton.
