How do you build a future rooted in purpose and possibility?
For Luis Olivieri, Director of GIS (Geographic Information System) at Hopeworks, it begins by creating real opportunities and watching young adults rise to meet them.
In Part 3 of our "25 Years, 3 Voices, 1 Mission" series, Luis reflects on how hands-on GIS work has not only transformed the futures of young professionals but also expanded their belief in what’s possible.
From real-world tech projects to leadership roles, Hopeworks young adults aren't just learning they're leading.
Join us in celebrating 25 years of impact, innovation, and community.
