Hopeworks 'N Camden

Hopeworks is a social enterprise that uses technical training, 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 $43,000 annually, with an almost 90% 12-month retention rate in their jobs. That is the Hopeworks difference.

Hopeworks is dedicated to guiding young adults in the greater Philadelphia region into living wage careers through skill development, real-world job experience at Hopeworks-owned businesses, and care for those who have experienced trauma. Their “Recode Your Future” training program provides unemployed young adults with opportunities in computer-aided design, web design, and data visualization, along with academic support and career readiness coaching.
