BELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life)
CEO: Earl Martin Phalen

BELL’s mission is to increase the academic achievements, self-esteem and life opportunities for children living in low-income communities.
The school year operates for about 180 days, September through June, about 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. Most afternoons, children hang out. BELL views out-of-school-time as a critical opportunity to help children. Teachers are available to teach; local college students serve as outstanding tutors, role models and mentors; schools and all of their resources are generally available.
BELL has leveraged these community resources to provide transformative educational experiences to more than 30,000 children in Baltimore, Boston and New York City since 1992.
Impact: BELL educated 7,500 scholars in Baltimore, Boston and New York City in 2007. This year, BELL is serving more than 10,000 scholars.
