Community Impact
I went into the program knowing very little about Business Services. What I have gained from this program is not only the knowledge, but the confidence and the network to be successful as a CBO. The instructors were kind, supportive, and accessible. As I waded through the curriculum I never felt overwhelmed but encouraged. I have made lifelong freinds and contacts through the program and I am grateful for completing the SBMCP.
Bryan Martin, 2025 SBMCP Student
“Belonging isn’t about “feeling good” it is a requirement for learning, I am inspired to support my team to think outside the box and innovate.”
Teacher Attending BLI with Team
"When you become superintendent there’s not really a playbook you can rely on. The Academy talked about the skills a superintendent needs to navigate community, governance and administration and how to do that while keeping students at the center of all your decision-making."
Hilda Maldonado, Superintendent, Santa Barbara Unified School District
