Hopeworks is a Camden, New Jersey-based social enterprise focused on education and workforce development. It combines technology training with healing-centered, trauma-informed support and paid work experience to help young adults move into long-term, living-wage careers. The program targets individuals aged 17 to 26 who are typically unemployed and living with very low incomes, and it reports meaningful outcomes: graduates earn about $44,000 per year on average and retain their jobs at a rate exceeding 90% within the first year. Operating within the education administration programs sector, Hopeworks positions itself at the nexus of skill-building, employment, and community healing, with training in web design and geographic information systems. Recent activities include expanding its offices to Newark, New Jersey, and partnering with Rowan University-Rutgers Camden Board of Governors to develop the Virtual Camden Experience, an interactive platform that brings more than two dozen major development projects to life.
