Advanced Training In Web Design/Development for Youth
Hopeworks 'N Camden is a nonprofit that has been working for over 15 years with Camden youth. Utilizing an advanced training curriculum in web design/development, GIS and Salesforce, Hopeworks works with youth 14-23 to get back in school and find a safe pathway to their future.
The pastoral teams of three Camden churches, two Lutheran and one Catholic, founded Hopeworks collaboratively. We officially opened our doors to our first trainees in March 2000. Since then:
- Over 1,200 youth from our target population have visited Hopeworks.
- Trainees have gone on to get jobs, attend college, and earn GEDs.
- Under the direction of our full-time Web site project director, our trainees have developed Web sites for more than 400 paying clients, mainly local, national, and international small businesses and non-profit organizations.
- Our GIS business has served more than 60 clients, producing parcel maps, digitizing land use information, and creating online mapping functionality with Google Maps.
- We have developed lasting partnerships with dozens of different organizations (a mix of governmental, commercial, and faith-based organizations) that help us to accomplish our mission.
