In 2008, Urban Alliance brought its flagship High School Internship Program, which provides paid internships, job skills training, and mentoring, to Baltimore at the invitation of Baltimore City Public Schools. The program’s goal is to open the door to new possibilities for high school students and ensure that every intern is on a pathway to success – whether that be college, living-wage employment or vocational training – after graduating high school. 

Urban Alliance’s work in Baltimore has since expanded to include specific internship pathways for students interested in careers in construction, land surveying, and hospitality. 

Over the past decade, Urban Alliance Baltimore has provided over 900 students with paid internships, and training to 1,887 additional young people.
