Partnership Programs with the
Department Juvenile Service
The Maryland Department of Juvenile Services has seven detention facilities that give temporary care to youth awaiting court hearings. Various programs within the facilities actively work to provide youth with a positive environment to grow and enhance their personal outlooks. The Department of Juvenile Services’ goal is to educate young people on vocational skill development, mentorship, and job readiness. A partnership with We Rise provides just that, along with opportunities and experiences that give young people a shot at life.
Park Heights

Youth begin at the CC Jackson Recreation Center for classroom instruction before transitioning to Phase 2 at our Basic Training Facility. The program includes a stipend and a pathway to future employment or advanced training.
