Last week, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker visited Hopeworks, a nonprofit and social enterprise that propels young adults ages 17 to 27 into long-term living wage careers from its headquarters in Camden.
During the visit, Booker (D-N.J.) toured the facility, engaged in a dynamic career talk with young adults and greeted board members and corporate partners of Hopeworks to gain insight into the program’s mission.
“I’m inspired by the young people I met today who, in the face of adversity, are working toward their dreams with extraordinary determination,” Booker said. “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.”
