We’re excited to share that our class will meet twice a week in a hybrid format. One night will be in-person and the other night will be virtual. The in-person classes will be held at a location in Baltimore City. To qualify for this program you must be a Baltimore City and/or Baltimore County resident and/or have an active business in Baltimore City and/or Baltimore County.

The DevelopHER Baltimore Program is a 5-month program. This program includes a Billion Dollar Yes We Can Panel (Black and Brown Developers), O’Hara Developments Vacants Tour and Pitch Competition. The program concludes with an in-person Graduation.

The DevelopHER Baltimore Program will begin with Orientation in January 2025 and will conclude with a Graduation in May 2025.

During the course of a 5-month period classes will be held 2x per week. That’s a total of almost 40 classes. Each class is approximately 2 hours in length. We recommend that you dedicate 5 - 10 hours per week to this program.

For the best experience, you will need a computer with the latest version of a web browser and internet access. Basic to intermediate computer skills and access to presentation software (ex: Google Slides, Canva, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc.) are also recommended. We use Zoom for our virtual learning platform, which is best supported in Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.
