Hopeworks Award
Hopeworks and Linode were recognized with the Philadelphia Business Journal's 2021 "Faces of Philanthropy" award for their innovative partnership.
The award recognizes collaborations between for-profit and nonprofit organizations that benefit the greater Philadelphia region and create positive change in the lives of others.
The Hopeworks-Linode venture provides young people with the opportunity to prepare for careers in cloud computing using Linux servers.
These jobs typically offer a starting salary of $55-$65K, significantly higher than the less than $800 average annual salary youth earn before coming to Hopeworks.
Rick Myers, Vice President of Customer Support and Success at Linode, came up with the idea for the venture.
He worked with Erich Smith, Hopeworks Training Room Manager, to customize the curriculum for Hopeworks youth and adapt it to Hopework's own training model.
The training requires 25 hours, spread out over five weeks.
Two Hopeworks interns, Rhys Basov and Kevin Sanchez, will be the key trainers, fully supported by the Linode training team.
