HopeTown Workshop Rooms for Skills Training

HopeTown is an existing NPO (Section 18A status) with credibility and traction in Ocean View, our nearest community. HopeTown works with young people at risk, who come from very challenging and often traumatic backgrounds. 

 

HopeTown has established a 3 step internship program for young unemployed youth coming from Ocean View. This is a holistic training which focuses on self-management, stability in life, skills training, job readiness and integrity. The main training centre is in Ocean View with a second training hub on Imhoff farm. In the Imhoff farm training centre, they focus on three different skills trainings. One is for Artistry / Carpentry (lamps, candle holders, smaller wood work, painting) and one for sewing and leather work (bags, cushions, leather artisan products). The young people working in these workshops are part of the advanced internship program (step 2 & 3) and learn to become job ready. 

HopeTown creates beautiful products in their skills training and they are sold through their social business in the Imhoff farm shop but also in different shops in Cape Town that support the self sustainability of the organisation. HopeTown is dedicated to changing lives in Ocean View in a way that is self-empowering for the young people and supports them in creating a life with passion and purpose.
