Julius Patterson, one of Hopeworks inspirational youth recently featured on Fox29 news, is continuing his professional journey and helping others by joining the staff of Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC,) one of the region’s largest nonprofits!
Coming to Hopeworks after making a decision to completely turn his life around, Julius took the lessons from his past and transformed those lessons into a dedication to helping others throughout the region. At Hopeworks, Julius worked as a member of the Youth Healing Team, training schools, nonprofits, and other organizations in how to work with individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity.
Now, Julius is using those skills to help more people throughout the community, joining PHMC as an interviewer! In that position, Julius will help PHMC gather and analyze data from clients about their needs, allowing PHMC to better serve their clients.
We are so proud of Julius’ growth and his ongoing dedication to make a difference!
