FULL-TIME INSTRUCTOR: Language Arts

About Hopeworks

Hopeworks is a nonprofit social enterprise that uses technology, trauma-informed care, and market-based businesses to transform lives. Young adults in our program receive hard and soft skill training, career coaching, barrier reduction services (food, housing/mental health care referrals), academic support, and paid work experience in our businesses.

Over 99% of young adults (17-26) entering Hopeworks are unemployed. After completion, they earn over $44,000 annually, with a 12-month retention rate of over 90% in their jobs. That is the Hopeworks difference.

Hopeworks delivers long-term outcomes, immediate poverty reduction, and opportunity in communities that are often sidelined by structural racism and poverty.
