This month was so busy here at Hopeworks! We relocated to a bigger space on Market Street, which has made it possible for several more youth to start training, and 4 youth have completed the training and have earned internships with us this month! We are beyond excited that our capacity has already grown as much as it has, and will continue to grow in our larger space.
Both Askia Campbell and Marcel Njighe-Tezah recently finished Hopeworks training and have been doing great work in their internships in our GIS Department. Jasmine Burdett finished training and became an intern on the Youth Healing Team and has already assisted in giving two Trauma Training presentations with her team! Lastly, Edwardo Figueroa earned the Youth Trainer internship and has been extremely helpful in the training room as we have several new youth getting accustomed to training.
