Clean & Green
Park Heights Renaissances’ Clean and Green Team has gained local praise and esteem from the Greater Baltimore Committee and the Baltimore Business Journal for exemplary service to the community! Part of the Clean and Green team’s goals are to lead and implement community clean ups and beautification projects.
Our program recently expanded to include two additional neighborhoods in our regular service rotation, Greenspring & Arlington, through funding received from the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs (MORP) and the Department of Planning (DOP). Visit DOP’s website to learn more about the Clean Corps program.
Candidates are referred from the community as well as other programs that service unemployed or high-risk individuals. Once hired, Clean & Green employees receive a plethora of professional development, certifications, and supportive services, including:
- On-site safety trainings and certifications in: OSHA-10 hr, First Aid/CPR, Bloodborne Pathogens, Hazcom
- Workshops on professionalism, financial literacy, mindfulness, and other topics
- Personalized case management, service referrals, and benefits matching through Unite Us and other channels.
Our goal is to contribute to a cleaner, safer, and healthier Park Heights by eliminating blight and trash while supporting our staff with resources to overcome employment barriers and develop hard and soft skills that prepare them for future success in thrivable wage careers.

HIPPY (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) Home Visitors
This year, PHR is excited to be participating in the Home Visiting Workforce Development program, a new innovative approach to providing a holistic workforce training program specifically designed for HIPPY parents to learn the knowledge and skills necessary to become a home visitor. The program provides 7-8 hours of job-readiness training per month, as well as stipends, laptops, and other barrier removals for participants. Working with The Family League of Baltimore, PHR will be recruiting 4-5 parents to participate in this pilot which will be running for six months starting in June 2023.
If you would like more information about how to support your youngest learners at home or participate in the pilot, please contact the PHR Education Office at (410) 644-4890 (ext 121) or aweems@phrmd.org
