"Baltimore City's YouthWorks summer jobs program will match young people (Baltimore City residents) between the ages of 14 and 21 to five-week work experiences with private sector, nonprofit, and city and state government employers. The program will operate 2 sessions from June 27 through July 29, 2016 and July 11 to August 12, 2016. Youth workers can earn $8.75 per hour and work no more than 25 hours a week. 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".
