The Work Group

 The Work Group (TWG) is a private, non‑profit corporation whose mission is to equip youth in transition to adulthood with the skills, education, and confidence to become self-directed, self-sufficient individuals who are productive and responsible members of their families and communities. 

 The Work Group seeks to address the needs and challenges faced by young people who have grown up in poverty and who have faced pervasive and systemic educational disadvantage.  The Work Group focuses its attention on the education and employment of Camden’s young adults through high-quality, work-centered activities, believing that helping them become effective in the workplace is the clearest path to economic self sufficiency.
