Hopeworks

Hopeworks is an employment social enterprise that uses technology, healing, and entrepreneurship to propel young adults into strong futures and break the cycle of violence and poverty. Youth working at Hopeworks learn skills in high-demand fields — web development, data and GIS, and artificial intelligence — and grow those skills through paid, real-world work with our technology businesses and partners in the community. On average, 99% of young adults (aged 17-26) entering Hopeworks are unemployed. Young adults completing the Hopeworks program make, on average, over $43,000 annually, with a 12-month job retention rate above 90%.
