Gov. Wes Moore kicks off second year of Maryland service program with 600 participants

The second year of Gov. Wes Moore’s signature public service and jobs program for mostly young Marylanders started Wednesday much like its first — an enthusiastic pep talk, a marching band and hundreds of participants wearing matching red shirts, eager for a new opportunity. Over 600 people are part of the program’s second class and will spend most of the next year earning at least minimum wage while working for a nonprofit organization, company or government agency.
