YouthWorks 2012
Baltimore City’s YouthWorks summer jobs program will match young people between the ages of 14 and 21 to six-week work experiences with private sector, nonprofit, and city and state government employers. The program will operate from June 25, 2012 to August 3, 2012. The YouthWorks slogan – summer jobs launch careers – describes the lasting effect that a productive summer job can have on a young person. Through targeted matching of jobs to older teens’ career interests and an emphasis on effective work behaviors and financial literacy for all participants, YouthWorks is sure to be a success this summer and beyond as it helps prepare our future workforce. For more information about YouthWorks, please contact the YouthWorks office at 410-396-JOBS (5627) or summerjobs@oedworks.com.
HIRE one YOUTH
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has created a
leadership team of committed employers to launch the
Hire One Youth campaign – an intiative for Baltimore employers to support Baltimore City’s YouthWorks campaign in 2012. Mayor Rawlings-Blake is looking for as many employers as possible to hire at least one youth for the summer. Hiring organizations will be provided with a pool of pre-screened,
qualified young people to interview. Once a match is made, a YouthWorks job coach will be assigned to each employer to serve as a direct link to the YouthWorks program. Throughout the summer, the job coach will visit the worksites, provide encouragement and support to the YouthWorker(s), and ensure a productive summer experience for all 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 contact the YouthWorks office at HireOneYouth@oedworks.com.
