Baltimore utilizes a youth-development program model that emphasizes caring-adult relationships, life skills attainment, academic achievement, career education and training, hands-on work experience and job placement assistance. |

| YO! Baltimore Services for Out of School Youth | ||
YO! Baltimore meets young adults where they are in their growth and development and works with them to craft a personal plan for success. All participants receive a comprehensive series of assessments that are used to determine their strengths, talents, needs, interests and aspirations. These assessments include Ansell Casey Life Skills Assessment; Mental Health and Substance Abuse Survey, Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE), Beehive (an on-line, web-based, career exploration tool), a physical health evaluation, and a personal interview to set goals and develop an Individual Opportunity Plan (IOP). YO! Baltimore enrolls Baltimore City residents who are out-of-school, 16 to 22 years of age and provides services free of charge to participants. YO! Baltimore has a wide range of support services and strategies for city, young adults in youth-friendly centers: Youth Development Services
