PORTLAND, Maine, March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Portland-based LearningWorks has teamed up with ScrubaDub Auto Wash Centers this spring to help Maine youth better prepare for employment. LearningWorks YouthBuild initiative is underway and aims to provide hundreds of unemployed youth in Southern Maine with integrated alternative education and occupational skills. Support from ScrubaDub will allow LearningWorks to help alleviate the effects of the recent pandemic on local youth and families.
