The 16 participants will be learning on-site construction skills by working to rehabilitate two (2) homes, both of which are located in the Western portion of Baltimore's Empowerment Zone. The program will provide a comprehensive and integrated effort to increase the academic, leadership, and vocational skill level of trainees.

Key participants include: Community Housing Associates, Baltimore Mental Health System, Inc., Jobs Plus, Civic Works, Sisters of Mercy, Teach Baltimore, Baltimore City Community College, and Struever Brothers Eccles & Rouse. The Housing Authority received an Implementation Grant in fiscal 1996 to implement a Youthbuild program in Baltimore's Westside Empowerment Zone. This grant will facilitate an entirely new program that will be similar in scope to the Authority's recently concluded Youthbuild program, but will be located in a different part of the same Zone, and will have enhanced educational services and leadership development activities especially taking into consideration the large number of women anticipated to apply for Youthbuild positions. After graduation from Youthbuild, participants will be placed in jobs with Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse, the Maryland Metropolitan Association of Minority Contractors, and with other employers. Civic Works will seek AmeriCorps education awards for its participants which will allow them to attend college or vocational school upon graduation from the program.
