YouthWorks

In order to be paid for your participation in the RAMP summer programming, you must apply to YouthWorks. You may still participate in RAMP without signing up for YouthWorks, but you will not be paid for the summer program portion.

Any questions about YouthWorks applications should be directed to their offices, which you can reach by emailing summerjobs@baltimorecity.gov.
