Devin Jackson, president and CEO of APT, expressed gratitude for the funding, saying, “Being a BCYF grant recipient is more than just funding, it’s fuel for transformation. This support allows us to expand our reach, empowering more youth across Baltimore with high-value skills that create pathways beyond survival.”

Jackson added, “We’re not just reducing juvenile arrest rates, we’re reengineering futures and shifting what’s possible for an entire generation.
