Mayor's plan to help youth windshield washers kicks off with resource event
African American Engagement Baltimore will be holding its first Resources to the Corner outreach event at the intersection of North Ave. and Mt. Royal. This is part of the 90-day plan to engage Baltimore's squeegee workers, youth who participate in free-lance windshield washing at high traffic intersections across the city. At this event there will be employment, community, and mental health resources, and more. This will be a bi-weekly event throughout December to bring resources directly to youth that squeegee on targeted corners.
