ABOUT MAYOR'S OFFICE OF EMPLOYMENT OF DEVELOPMENT

The Mayor's Office of Employment Development (MOED) coordinates and directs workforce development initiatives responsive to the needs of Baltimore City employees and job seekers to enhance and promote the local economy. At MOED, we view our mission broadly to deliver economic justice to our city! To us, economic justice means creating an equitable workforce system for all residents - especially those who have been generationally and systemically disadvantaged - one that is responsive to their needs and ensures viable economic opportunities.

Baltimore Youthworks Summer Jobs Program is one of the largest summer jobs initiatives in the nation. For the past 5 years, the goal has been to offer 8,000 City youth an opportunity to work and earn wages during the summer months. Built on the unspoken expected reality that a large percentage of black and brown youth would have unequal access to a summer job because of structural and institutional racism, Youthworks prioritizes those most impacted - youth receiving public assistance, low wage families and youth connected to the Department of Juvenile Service.
