FAQ’S

I’m not sure if this class is for me. How can I talk to someone?

Contact our programs team at [email protected].

I live outside Baltimore City – can I still attend this program?

Priority is given to Baltimore City residents or students who attend a BCPSS school and current students. We also reserve spaces for Baltimore County students. If there is additional space, new students residing outside Baltimore City and County will be considered.

Wow! High school students get paid to learn and participate in your programs. What do I need to do to receive a stipend?

Students who attend 50% or more of their classes are eligible to receive a pro-rated stipend. You will need to send a completed W-9 form to your teacher. More information will be provided by your teacher.

If programs have already started, can I still register?

Yes! If the class is full, sign up for the waitlist.

How can I stay up to date on Wide Angle’s programs, and when can I register?

Why is information about students collected in the application?

We ask for student information for several reasons. Contact information (phone, address, email) is for program communication and updates, and to be able to reach a family member in the case of emergency. Other demographic information such as age, gender, race, and household income level is collected to provide Wide Angle with an overview of the students impacted by our programs. This helps to make sure that we are meeting our goals to engage youth from historically under-resourced communities in Baltimore. We recognize that these are personal questions, and students and families may opt out of providing this information if they choose. Wide Angle receives funding from a large list of supporters, including some grants that require demographic information (also to ensure that funds are serving the intended communities). When this information is reported to these funders, it is always combined by the overall program, and individual students are never identified.

What are the age requirements for Wide Angle’s programs?

Wide Angle primarily serves youth aged 10-24. In certain cases, when youth are completing their workforce training, the program may engage older participants up to age 26 (such as those in Journeyworker placements or completing apprenticeships). Only those youth who were already involved with Wide Angle by the age of 24 are eligible for these additional wrap-around opportunities. Youth who have not previously participated in Wide Angle’s programs before turning 25 cannot join its workforce training initiatives.
