The Living Classrooms Foundation (LCF) uses maritime settings
to provide hands-on education and job training, with a special
emphasis on juvenile offenders, at-risk youth, and groups from
diverse backgrounds. The Fresh Start Program serves out-of-school
youth and juvenile offenders ages 16–19 whose needs are not being
met by state and local education agencies. Participants complete
a 9-month carpentry course and focus on developing professional
and interpersonal skills. Most of Fresh Start’s activities are
conducted at LCF’s East Harbor Campus, a 2-acre facility on the
Inner Harbor of Baltimore, MD. The program is recognized by the
U.S. Department of Labor as a Promising and Effective Practices
Network (PEPNet) awardee. A detailed profile of the program is
available at www.nyec.org/pepnet/awardees/fresh.htm.
