About us

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. Hopeworks is a social enterprise that uses technology, healing, and entrepreneurship to transform lives; 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 a 12-month retention rate of over 90% in their jobs. That is the Hopeworks difference. Our unique trauma-informed approach, combined with high-demand, high-wage technical training and paid work experience in Web Design and GIS helps young people not only get the job, but keep it, transforming their lives and the lives of their families. Hopeworks delivers long term outcomes, immediate poverty reduction, and opportunity in communities that are often sidelined by structural racism and poverty.

    Thank you to our friends at Slalom for joining us for a fantastic Generative AI workshop for our young adults! The workshop covered how businesses use AI across industries, using Gen Ai in technical roles, and how Gen AI works 🚀 AI is transforming industries, and we're on a mission to be at the forefront of it. Special shout out to Chris Church, Hopeworks alumni, who not only attended the workshop but has always been a stellar advocate for Hopeworks!

    Hopeworks recently spoke at Holman Connect, their leadership conference in Atlantic City. The panel included Dan Rhoton, Grace Manning, and Hopeworks Young Professionals Isaiah Carr and Jeremiah Reyes! Thank you to Jarrod Phipps and Bob Hamilton for the opportunity to share about Hopeworks, the impact our young professionals have, and the importance of partnerships like the one with Holman. Without our partners, this work would not be possible, and it’s been a pleasure to work with each and every one to build strong futures🌟❤️
