Summer Advancement Ceremony

On Thursday, June 20th, family, friends and staff gathered to support 189 trainees as they reached significant milestones along Hope Builders’ student journey. In the last 6 months alone, 51 individuals launched their careers with the support of Hope Builders Career Connections (HBCC)—the organization’s social enterprise staffing agency.

Child Development Training Program graduate, Getsemani Quintero, provided an inspiring message to her fellow Hope Builders reminding them how each of them came with their own dreams and aspirations, and through collaboration and mutual support, they forged a bond that turned challenges into triumphs and uncertainty into clarity.  Getsemani shared, “through my employment readiness classes I became equipped with the tools I needed to navigate the professional world with confidence.”

Congratulations to Getsemani and all of the other Hope Builders on their next step on their path to prosperity. Thank you, to our community of supporters, for making it possible for these 189 young adults to unlock their potential.
