The On Our Shoulders program was created out of the empathy felt by its founder, Ray Cook, as he watched countless youths die and become victims of violence on the streets of Baltimore.
The counseling, education and skills training offered by On Our Shoulders helps young people develop career potential and connections to advanced education.
The program components include:
- Group Sessions
- On The Job Training
- Skill Enhancements
- Criminal Assessment
Advanced education will be based on academic performance, attendance, punctuality, and commitment to the program. Our youth will need to demonstrate a high degree of motivation within the program to receive a court representation and assessment verification.
