Baltimore Corps, a social justice and innovation hub co-founded in 2013 by now-Gov. Wes Moore and Fagan Harris, announced that Caryn York will be the organization’s next President and CEO.
A Baltimore native, York will return from New York City, where she currently serves as the first Black woman President and CEO of the Women's Prison Association, an organization that advances housing, education, employment and family unification solutions for women and mothers impacted by the criminal justice system. Previously, York was the CEO of Baltimore's Job Opportunities Task Force, where she drove the organization's efforts to pass more than 15 pieces of statewide legislation eliminating barriers to employment and higher education for low-income workers and job seekers.
