SOURCE
SOURCE is the community engagement and service-learning center for the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Schools of Public Health, Nursing, and Medicine.
SOURCE’s mission is to engage the Johns Hopkins University health professional schools and Baltimore communities in mutually beneficial partnerships that promote health and social justice.
We also serve as a channel for student, faculty and staff involvement with community organizations, and local projects.
SOURCE has a particular, but not exclusive, focus on East Baltimore neighborhoods in close proximity to the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus.

Letter From Our Director, "Reflecting on 20 Years of SOURCE"
SOURCE Founder and Director Mindi Levin looks back at how our center has evolved since opening in 2005 to serve the Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of Nursing, and School of Medicine.
Congratulations to our Star of the Month for March 2025, Maxwell Fontaine from the School of Nursing! Maxwell is actively serving our community this year working with several of our amazing partners. Through the Community Outreach Program, he has been working with Gallagher Services to support adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities, while also serving at the The Pride Center of Maryland through SOURCE's HIV Counseling and Testing Program. In addition, he also volunteers with the Johns Hopkins HEAT Corps to teach special health education topics to K-12 youth in our city. Read our interview with Maxwell to learn more about his experience volunteering in Baltimore!
