Mission: With a focus on skill development, real-world job experience, and trauma-informed care, Hopeworks propels young adults into long-term living wage careers that put them on the path for healing and financial stability. By prioritizing significant levels of re

source navigation, a trauma-informed approach, and comprehensive support and coaching, Hopeworks makes a significant investment in the success of young adults aged 17-26. We specialize in changing the narrative shared by other organizations that deem some young adults “unemployable”, ”not ready,” or “too difficult” – young adults who have been failed by the educational system and social system, and who are left out of the growing economy. On average, over 99% of young adults (aged 17-26) entering Hopeworks are unemployed, making less than $400 annually. Young adults completing the Hopeworks program make, on average, over $44,000 annually, with an over 90% 12-month retention rate in their jobs. That is the Hopeworks difference, truly ending poverty and generating wealth for communities excluded from prosperity for generations. About Hopeworks Services:
As part of its program, Hopeworks runs four businesses, offering a complete array of website design & development, along with online GIS mapping products, and a complete set of Salesforce implementation, optimization, training, and support offerings. In addition, Hopeworks Youth Healing Team offers training and consultation to schools and nonprofits about working with youth and adults affected by trauma. These businesses help to generate over 80 youth jobs a year. You can find out more about Hopeworks services by visiting http://hopeworks.org/

Real opportunity requires real inclusivity. 🏳️‍🌈✨

At Hopeworks, our mission is to empower young adults and connect them to life-changing careers. But skills are only part of the equation, belonging is the rest.

We’re proud to be a space where every community is celebrated, supported, and empowered to lead. This month (and every other month), we’re standing loud and proud with our community.

Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Our minds are definitely still at Dell Technologies World! ✨

Looking back at , we are so incredibly proud of how our Hopeworks young adults showed up. They didn't just attend, they sat in on keynotes with Michael Dell and Jensen Huang, put in the hard work to earn professional certifications on-site, and exemplified excellence every day.

Two moments we're still talking about:

💡 Our signature Morning Huddle activity was a total hit! Other attendees loved the energy so much they want to bring the tradition to their own workplaces.

📚Our team had the absolute honor of meeting the legendary LeVar Burton!

Huge thanks to the Dell team for their incredible hospitality and belief in our mission, and to our Hopeworks team for taking advantage of every single opportunity. 🚀

What happens when you give our Newark trainees a pile of computer parts and zero instructions? They build a working PC. 🛠️

Thanks to the team at Computers 4 People for stopping by our Newark site to lead an incredible, hands-on hardware workshop. Instead of just talking about tech, our trainees got their hands dirty breaking down computers, rebuilding them from scratch, and booting them up. 🖥️

There’s nothing quite like the confidence boost that comes from building the technology you use every day. Thank you to the C4P team for partnering with us to bridge the digital divide 👩🏾‍💻

30+ years of dedication, hundreds of lives changed, and countless milestones achieved! Yesterday, we officially celebrated the incredible Carol Dann as she steps into her next exciting chapter! 🥂✨

From educating young adults, helping hundreds earn their diplomas, and giving over a decade of incredible leadership to Hopeworks, Carol is officially trading in her work alarms for relaxation! 🌴☕

Yesterday’s celebration was full of laughs, memories, and immense gratitude for everything she has given to the Camden community. We’re going to miss you Carol, but nobody deserves this next adventure more than you! 🎉❤️

True partnership isn’t just about creating space, it’s about making sure everyone at the table belongs. 🚀

That is exactly what the Dell Technologies team has done for Hopeworks at . We are incredibly proud to have our young adults on-site, fully immersed and engaged as core partners in this experience.

Thank you to Cara Borawski, Carly Tatum, Kanon Hile, Ellen Warren, Atakan Baran, and Jennifer "JJ" Davis for your intentional hospitality, leadership, and deep commitment to our mission. 👏

Please join us in celebrating Ashley Rivera, who was recently hired as a full-time Universal Banker at Columbia Bank New Jersey!

When our young adults break into new industries, they don't just change their own futures, they become blueprints for success for everyone coming up behind them.

Ashley's achievement sends a powerful ripple effect of inspiration through Camden, Newark, and Kensington, proving exactly what is possible with the right drive and support. 📈❤️
