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.
“I’m grateful for the work Hopeworks is doing in Camden to provide these future leaders real-world job experience and a healing atmosphere, empowering them to secure brighter futures for themselves and their families.”
Thank you to Senator Booker and his team for creating an unforgettable experience for our young professionals and demonstrating that achieving your dreams is truly possible.
