About the Valero Hope Works Program

Imagine the difference an opportunity to learn valuable life and career skills can make in the life of a child in need.

By providing practical life and vocational skills to the children in our care through hands-on learning experiences and exposure to a variety of skill-based activities, the Valero Hope Works program seeks to do just that.

Valuable Work Experience + Life Skills

The Valero Hope Works program teaches work and life skills needed for adulthood with a focus on enhancing independence, building self-esteem, mastering competency, and learning social-relational skills.

Opportunity + Preparedness

The Valero Hope Works program creates opportunities for youths to develop time management skills, punctuality, a good work ethic, interviewing skills, positive relational skills, and more – preparing them to launch into work outside of campus.

Because of you, their future is bright.

From full-time positions to volunteer roles, your service can make a difference for children and families who urgently need help.
