Year Up

Year Up Baltimore, launched in 2010, is Baltimore City’s first community college pilot program. It is a one-year, intensive training program that provides low-income young adults, ages 18 to 24, with a combination of hands-on skill development, college credits, and corporate internships. Students in Baltimore are dual-enrolled with a community college partner and have access to the library, tutoring resources, and other services offered by the college, in addition to the services offered by Year Up. By partnering closely with community colleges, Year Up hopes to share their expertise to reach many more disconnected young adults through the community college system.
