Maryland New Directions is a nonprofit organization based in Baltimore, Maryland, established in 1973 as New Directions for Women and later renamed in 1985. The group focuses on helping low-income adults in Baltimore City, ages 18–60, who face barriers to employment by providing training and coaching aimed at identifying career paths, securing jobs, and sustaining employment toward living wages. Its services address a range of clients, including single parents, ex-offenders, youth, and older workers, with the goal of fostering self-sufficiency and community contribution through workforce development. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and emphasizes career readiness, supportive services, and pathways to long-term employment, supported by ongoing program activities in the Baltimore area. A notable recent development includes launching a series of free resume support and job assistance days to assist workers displaced by the Key Bridge incident, reflecting its focus on adapting to immediate local employment needs.
