HIRE ONE YOUTH
Hire One Youth is a program where employers will pay for youth's wages themselves. Sometimes, Hire One Youth participants are more likely to receive more than minimum wage and continue working for their placements after the summer than YouthWorks participants. In addition, Hire One Youth participants get to have a special job-readiness training that will teach them important job skills to help them get better jobs in the future. If you are interested in Hire One Youth, tell us when you come in for your interview and we can tell you more.
Note: Completing the above process does NOT guarantee a YouthWorks summer job.
Municipal Trash Cans are Coming !!!!
Municipal
Trash Cans are Coming to Baltimore City: You may
already have heard of the City’s plans to provide 65-gallon Municipal Trash Cans to
every household that currently receives mixed waste collection services
by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works. The delivery of the
cans is expected to start in the latter part of February 2016. It will
take nearly seven months for all eligible
properties to receive their cans. The delivery will be preceded by a
door tag notifying residents that the can will be delivered in about 10
days. Each can will come with an insert reminding residents how to use
and care for the cans.
Based on what we’ve seen in other cities, as well as a pilot program in two Baltimore communities, we believe this strategy will help keep our neighborhoods and waterways clean. I am enthusiastic about the positive impact the Municipal Trash Can program will have on our City and its residents, and I am asking you to help share our message.
Containing mixed refuse in durable containers, such as the new Municipal Trash Cans, is one of the best ways to reduce debris and litter, keep food away from rats, and create cleaner neighborhoods. Each trash can has an attached lid to prevent trash from blowing away, and wheels to make them easy to move. It is essential that households use the new trash cans to see these expected improvements.
