To combat joblessness, lack of opportunity, and engage underserved communities, we launched our 20 week training program in partnership with Made In Bmore Clothing + Students of Style—two initiatives reconnecting today’s generation with Baltimore’s rich history of urban manufacturing and its impact on economic and community development.
Established in 2012, Made In Bmore Clothing began as a streetwear brand and marketing initiative to engage opportunity youth and educate them about apparel manufacturing programs and the impact of domestic production. Over the years, it has evolved into a manufacturing and retailing hub for workforce development.

and the impact of domestic production. Over the years, it has
evolved into a full-scale brand, manufacturing and retailing its
own products while serving as a hub for workforce development.
Baltimore City Public Schools serves nearly 80,000 students, the majority of whom are required to wear school uniforms. Additionally, thousands of alumni continue to support school-branded apparel. Each year, the average parent spends nearly $500 on uniform essentials like shirts, pants, sweatshirts, and jackets.
Citywide Youth Development has reimagined the school uniform system through Students of Style, a vertically integrated program that keeps manufacturing and revenue local while engaging students and the community.
At the EMAGE Center, we offer high-quality contract services in
cut & sew manufacturing, screen printing, and embroidery,
providing businesses, schools, and brands with custom apparel
solutions.
Citywide Youth Development provides workforce training in
apparel manufacturing, equipping participants with the skills and
experience needed to thrive in the industry.
