WHOSE LIFE IS IT?
Our MissioN
The three words in our name, Run Hope Work, describe our holistic intervention, designed to train Washington DC’s young adults for the workforce and provide a pathway out of poverty for underserved DC youth ages 18-24. Our program utilizes a developmentally appropriate approach that combines physical fitness training, free therapy, meditation, vocational training and job placement to promote overall well-being and empower youth for long-term employment.
WHAT WE DO
Program participants complete hundreds of hours of running, meditation and vocational training. Trades include drywall, painting, flooring and more. The ultimate goal is for each youth to leave the program with a full-time job but more importantly to ensure they have a plan for themselves and a positive sense of self.
