Acerca de

Intersection of Change (formerly Newborn Holistic Ministries) is a community-based nonprofit focused on community development in west Baltimore. The organization is dedicated to providing programs that enrich the economic, social and spiritual lives of those dealing with poverty related issues in the Sandtown-Winchester, Upton and surrounding communities.

Work to date has resulted in significant neighborhood revitalization of the 1900 and 2000 blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue through the full renovation of six previously vacant and dilapidated buildings, transformation of 18 vacant lots into community green spaces and meditative gardens, creation of two dozen neighborhood murals, and conversion of 96,000 sq./ft. of vacant lots into an urban farm.

Programs by Intersection of Change include:

  • Martha's Place: A recovery program for women overcoming substance abuse and homelessness that helps women achieve sobriety while maintaining a job and housing. The program offers housing with supportive services such as addictions counseling, money management training, case management, wellness classes, and community meals.
  • Jubilee Arts: A comprehensive art program that uses art as a catalyst for social change, as a tool for empowerment, and an alternative to the dangers of drugs and violence in the community. Jubilee Arts provides 23 art classes (in ceramics, visual arts, dance, and business) four days a week with four annual semester sessions as well as cultural activities to both children and adults and serves over 2,400 people annually.
  • Strength to Love II: A program that operates an urban farm and serves ex-offenders returning to the community from incarceration. The farm entails 16 greenhouses totaling 1.5 acres, addresses community food apartheid issues, and offers employment to ex-offenders. The program also supports ex-offenders with ID renewals and food gift certificates.
