Welcome to YouthWorks at Johns Hopkins
by editor on Jun.30, 2009, under A Kid in the Conference Room
Johns Hopkins hired approximately 250 Baltimore teenagers and young adults as part of the city’s YouthWorks summer jobs program. Five of those teens are working in the Government, Community and Public Affairs office on Bond Street in Fell’s Point, performing a variety of tasks from assisting with video and photo shoots to filing and stuffing envelopes. In true fashion to GCPA’s mission of communicating the messages of Johns Hopkins, our five students have created this blog to document their work and experiences with the institution’s various divisions and people they’ve met along the way. Take a look.

As a current supervisor of a terrific Youthworks student employee, I want to express how impressed I am with this program and the caliber of students recruited. I hope all supervisors will have chance to evaluate the program and commend the employees and organizers for their efforts to bring this program to Hopkins. It is a wonderful opportunity both for Baltimore youth _and_ the Hopkins community. Keep up the good work!
