YouthWorks 2013
YouthWorks is Baltimore City’s summer jobs program, which places young people age 14 to 21 in six-week summer work experiences throughout Baltimore. Click here to see the YouthWorks brochure. In 2013, YouthWorks will run June 24 through August 2.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake launched the Hire One Youth initiative in 2012 to challenge Baltimore employers to join the City in creating valuable summer employment opportunities for Baltimore’s teens by hiring at least one young person through the YouthWorks summer jobs program. Building on the success of Hire One Youth in 2012, the Mayor is reintroducing the campaign for 2013 with the goal of doubling the number of employers involved.
Employers can sign up now to hire youth for this summer by completing the Hire One Youth online form.
For more information about the Hire One Youth campaign, please check out this YouTube video or contact the YouthWorks office at HireOneYouth@oedworks.com.
