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/

At a recent Philadelphia Phillies game, the most important stat from the game wasn’t on the scoreboard! 📊

It was on the PhanaVision screen, where Hopeworks alumna Nyree Oliver reminded a stadium full of people that "opportunity can be built." Nyree got the ultimate mic drop moment when her speech from the Life Science Cares Philadelphia Impact Reception was broadcast across Citizens Bank Park for Bases & Breakthroughs! 🎤

Congrats to Nyree for proving that when you give talent a stage, they completely change the game ✨

From the lab to the main stage! 💻✨

John Kissling and Angel Rivera represented the Hopeworks Web team at the 2026 Cesium Developer Conference in Philly! They gave global developers an inside look at the Camden 3D Urban Revitalization project we are building and how we leveraged Cesium technology to build it.

We love seeing our team connect, share ideas, and help shape the future of open geospatial technology 🏢 🗾

Proof that you can excel in two places at once. 💼🎓

Congratulations to two of our Kensington dual-enrollment students, Hisael De Jesus Leon and MJ Coss-Munoz for graduating from Simon Gratz High School!

Balancing high school while working as Hopeworks Training Room Associates means these two have been working double-time for their futures. You stayed committed to your goals, and are turning your dreams into reality! ✨

Setting the bar high in our new Newark location! 🚀

Congratulations to Jaden, who just became the very first trainee at our Newark site to present his personal website! 💻✨

Each trainee must present a personal website towards the end of their training and before entering an internship. Over the last few weeks, Jaden has poured hours into designing and developing a site built around his own business concept and future goals.

Jaden, thank you for paving the way and showing everyone what’s possible in this new space! 👏

Recently, Hopeworks joined the Southern New Jersey Development Council's 29th Annual Construction Forecast to discuss South Jersey's future! 🏗️ 🏢

We showcased Camden's innovative 3D Virtual Experience platform, developed with the Rowan / Rutgers Board of Governors, Dan Krause and Camden County Commissioner Jeffrey Nash discussed driving new opportunities through tech and collaboration, while John Kissling and the Hopeworks Web team ran a live demo showcase. 💻

Paishants DePalma and Riscee Langhorne, MBA also connected with attendees at our exhibit booth!

Thank you to SNJDC for an outstanding program, and to Evan Weiss and regional leaders for sharing insights on innovation and infrastructure.

How do we make sure young adults are actually learning the skills modern employers need? 🤔

Last week, Hopeworks joined the 2026 PHENND-Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development K-16 June Institute to tackle this exact question. Our own Dan Krause hit the stage with regional leaders (Nicole Pumphrey and Dr. Djuradj Babic), to talk about closing the gap between school and career.

The big takeaway? Building a strong workforce requires real, relationship-based collaboration between employers and educators. By sharing insights from our own tech partnerships, we mapped out how to build direct, practical pathways for local young professionals. 🚀

Huge thanks to PHENND-Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development, Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, and Community College of Philadelphia for a great conversation! ✨

Hardware issues? Russell has a fix for that. 🛠️

He is officially starting a new chapter as a Chromebook Repair Technician with the team at Inspiroz. From diagnostics to full-system recovery, Russell is stepping into a role where his problem-solving skills will directly keep users connected and productive. 💻

Congratulations and looking forward to watching you optimize this next chapter, Russell! ✅

Anyone who knows Lawrence knows how deeply he invests in our Camden site and our young professionals. Now, that impact is scaling up! ✅

Lawrence was just accepted into the Widger Family Foundation's Emerging Leaders Program! This means dedicated coaching and leadership development that will not only fuel his personal growth, but give him a high-profile platform to share the story of Hopeworks and the talent coming out of Camden.

We’re proud to see his hard work recognized on this level. Join us in celebrating Lawrence today! 👏🏾

Real talk, real advice, and unmatched energy. ⚡️

Last week, our young adults headed to TD for a site visit and career panel that completely blew us away!

Big shoutout to the TD Bank team for skipping the standard corporate script. Instead, they opened up a space for our young professionals to ask the tough questions, from overcoming setbacks to thriving in corporate spaces. 💼

Thank you, Geoff Brandon, Tommy Berner, Carlos Rodriguez, Rick Carrion, Heather Lopez, Amanda Valentin, Jimmy Gastner, and Jose Duran-Pena, for breaking down barriers and letting our young adults see that success is 100% within their reach.

We are so grateful for your time and mentorship! 💚
