It’s pretty simple, really. Young people are key to vibrant communities and thriving economies. So we do everything in our power to develop their skills and increase the employment possibilities for disconnected youth in our area – young adults who are full of untapped potential and big dreams but who face even bigger challenges with fewer opportunities.
In Central and Western Maryland, we offer job-related programs and services to foster care and juvenile services participants through age 25 and to all other eligible Maryland residents ages 16 to 24.
