Baltimore leaders celebrate Youthworks program

Baltimore - Hundreds of Baltimore City teens are hard at work this summer thanks to City leaders and the federal government. They were given jobs with Baltimore City as a part of the Youthworks campaign.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Congressman Elijah Cummings and Senator Ben Cardin gathered to celebrate the security of the Department of Labor grant  that allows that program to exist. They say it's a great way to keep young people learning all year around.

Youthworks employs high school and college students. The program helps them to develop work skills and explore careers.
