And another success story to add to the list! Hopeworks Web Intern Joshua Valente joined us 2 months ago in hopes to find new opportunities in tech and continue his education.
He left school in the 12th grade and has been incredibly determined to get his diploma since then. After taking the required tests in each subject, Joshua has successfully earned his diploma! It’s been awesome to watch Joshua grow at every level, overcome fear and nervousness, and continue to gain confidence after each win.
"With the guidance of Hopeworks, I turned dreams into reality. Today, as I hold my high school diploma, I am not just a graduate; I am a testament to the transformative power of hope and education. Thank you, Hopeworks, for being the beacon that lit my path to success."
Joshua has also joined our Web Department as a Web Development Intern and will be assisting with building client websites.
