Earlier this month, we were thrilled to have Senator Cory Booker join us at our Camden HQ for an inspiring chat with our young adults about their prospective career paths! Senator Booker shared his professional journey, answered young adult questions, gained insight into the Hopeworks mission and learned more about our employment and training partnerships.
"I’m inspired by the young people I met who, in the face of adversity, are working toward their dreams with extraordinary determination,” said Senator Booker.
