Gov. Martin O'Malley announced last Thursday that state funds will be set aside to expand a Baltimore program for at-risk youths into Prince George's County.
O'Malley (D) started Operation Safe Kids in 2002 when he was mayor of Baltimore. It assists juveniles and young adults referred by the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services.
Part of the $350,000 from the state will allow the county health department to hire five social workers for counseling. The funds also will support finding jobs for participants, enrolling them in school and matching them with drug treatment and therapy programs.
