Who We Are
For more than three decades, the South Baltimore Learning Center (SBLC) has provided a supportive, rigorous, and transformative education for adults of all ages and demographics who are eager to learn, motivated to succeed, and committed to making a difference in their lives and those of others.
Our goal is to provide adults with the most appropriate literacy course offerings, designed to suit their abilities, improve their performance, and ensure their success; in this way, by creating a positive education experience that meets each individual’s needs, we help them to: achieve personal educational goals, increase their personal self-esteem, and discover new ways to extend learning, beyond the classroom.
We offer several pathways to a high school diploma, including four academic sessions of adult basic education and GED preparation classes, and we serve as the sole provider for Baltimore City’s National External Diploma Program. Once enrolled, we encourage learners to take advantage of computer training, career pathway planning, academic counseling and tutoring services.

If you’ve been to SBLC | Learning Works or called here in the past year, Zina Barr was likely the one greeting you with a smile you can hear through the phone and a friendly “how are you?” Zina’s positivity and enthusiasm is only matched by her sharp wit and thoughtful kindness. We congratulate Zina on being chosen by her peers as the SBLC Employee of the Quarter! We’re honored to call her a teammate.![]()

Zina's favorite part of her job is "being able to interact with learners every day." She loves creating a positive environment for people to encounter when they step through our doors. In her time outside of SBLC, Zina enjoys hiking, going to the beach, making jewelry, and doing "lots of arts and crafts." She is also an actress, participating in community theatre for more than 20 years.
