These 16 students will join a legacy of Scholars at our partner high schools, Camden Catholic High School, Paul VI High School, and Gloucester Catholic.

"We’re quickly realizing the importance of workforce development programs like these in Camden. The value here is more than the structures themselves. It's young people learning real skills while contributing something the neighborhood needs." -Elena Piperno, Domenica Foundation Director
