Baltimore's Safe & Sound Campaign's Ready By 21 Compact is a new effort that will provide a pathway for young adults aging out of the foster care system or in the state's custody to earn their high school diplomas or GEDs, receive life skills and career training, and be placed in career ladder jobs that pay good wages and benefits. The Campaign will implement a culinary arts workforce development program for a cohort of these young adults.
