The Building Trades Program: What We Do

The Chesapeake Center for Youth Development (CCYD) is located in Brooklyn @
301 East Patapsco Ave. Baltimore, MD 21225
www.ccyd.org


Here at the Building Trades Program we teach youth a hands-on survey course in the building trades; including plumbing, electrical, painting, landscape maintenance, and carpentry. The main trade focus being carpentry.

The bulk of our work is focused in the Brooklyn/Curtis Bay neighborhoods, though we have made connections with interested citizens and organizations in other South Baltimore neighborhoods, such as Cherry Hill, Westport and Pigtown.


We not only expose youth to skills that could lead to a career in the trades, but endeavor to make an impact on social issues with the products of our labor.

Take a look at some of the projects that we've worked on!
