There were bar graphs and charts as well as videos by young people who described how the Baltimore Children and Youth Fund (BCYF) has helped them learn marketable skills, gain confidence and establish organizations to bring these same benefits to others.
There was a slide disclosing that the BCYF awarded $9.2 million to 79 organizations that serves a projected 20,418 city youth, although other presented material listed 84 grantees and a total of 12,152 youth reached.
Otherwise, last nightâs status report to the City Councilâs Education, Workforce and Youth Committee was largely devoid of detailed financial and performance information, even though it was presented a full month behind the cutoff date set by the Council.
