The Red Line High School Internship Program returned this summer with participation from Edmondson-Westside, Patterson, and Woodlawn High Schools. The internship program connects students who live and attend school within the proposed Red Line corridor with educational and career opportunities in transportation. It was created as a way to engage with Red Line community members and involve those who will ultimately benefit from the Red Line transit service.
Interns are learning about the Red Line project, its potential to improve transportation access across Baltimore, and how it will impact their communities. They are also exploring careers in transportation through field visits, hands-on activities, professional development workshops, and are working on a final capstone project that challenges them to analyze real-world transportation issues, develop solutions, and present their findings– enhancing their critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills.
Two Red Line College Interns are supporting this year’s expanded program, Tony Graham II, and Bradley Brown. Both are Civil Engineering students at Morgan State University with strong academic backgrounds, real-world experience, and a shared commitment to sustainable infrastructure. Tony and Bradley are crucial in mentoring the high school interns and supporting day-to-day program coordination.
Meet the college interns!
Raised in a family of engineers, Tony developed a passion for resilient infrastructure and community-centered design. He is a proud member of the Civil Engineering Honor Society and values leadership, service, and academic excellence. As a College Assistant, Tony is excited to help guide high school students, apply his skills in planning and engineering, and support the development of future transit leaders.
Bradley brings hands-on construction experience from a previous internship with Whiting-Turner. He is currently part of a stormwater research group and is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Bradley is eager to mentor students and believes this program is a powerful opportunity for Morgan State students to give back and inspire youth from the community.
