Breaking a cycle of any kind is difficult, let alone when that cycle is generational poverty. Providing money-earning opportunities for the young people stuck in cyclical poverty is a key step for providing hope for their future - and an incredible nonprofit in New Jersey is doing just that.

Hopeworks provides a positive and peaceful atmosphere to provide young people the opportunities to break the cycle of violence and poverty. Dan and his team focus on technology, education, and entrepreneurship to connect young people to open work at businesses within the community. Throughout this episode, Dan talks about his journey to working with Hopeworks, how they work with New Jersey youth, his perspective on ending the cycle of poverty, and much more.

It’s no secret that when we’re moving into adulthood, as children and teens, we’re sometimes forced to find our path alone. Society teaches us that once we turn 18, we should start to figure things out by ourselves, and we’re thrown into the deep end of the world without a lifeline. But that shouldn’t necessarily be the case.
 
In today’s episode, I am joined by a dear friend of mine, Maria Pinardo, who’s been part of The Bridge for 25 years – a unique program of support and positive lifestyle enrichment for youth and adults. They hold weekly empowerment sessions, often led by the youth, focusing on leadership, communication, team building, anti-bullying, self-care, and more. Maria kindly explains their mission and how things work inside The Bridge, and shares a few things we can all do every day to keep our peaceful state of mind.
 
Tune in to Episode 26 of Peace and Love Amplifiers to learn how The Bridge facilitates safe spaces for authentic relating and builds harmonious connections among diverse participants.
