Mayor Scott charged the Mayor’s Office of Children & Family Success with establishing cabinet member youth shadows. Mayor Scott’s Youth Shadow Program gives youth, ages 14 to 21, an opportunity to observe elected and appointed officials performing their daily work routine in their work environment.

 

Through this program, Baltimore’s youth will explore government careers to get a realistic picture of the tasked performed to keep our city running and safe.
