An
open house is being held on Thursday for The House of Original Dreams, a
facility that houses a program to help youth with their future employment.
The HOOD, as the facility is known, is a place where
eligible youth, ages 14 to 21, can attend classes for academic remediation,
workforce development, GED preparation, vocational training, and post-secondary
education preparation. Youth are
assisted with work experiences, job search and job placement.
In order to make The HOOD facility better known to the public, and introduce the
new program structure and staff, an Open House is set for Thursday, September
1, 2011, from 3:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m with a formal program
to occur at 4:30 pm. All are welcome and
refreshments will be provided.
The HOOD is located at 530 E. Union Street, Suite 3, West Chester. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The HOOD can be reached at 610.344.4225.

The HOOD. Since the HOOD opened its doors in January of 2008, more than 200 Chester County youth have been served. In the
past year, the HOOD has exceeded its state’s negotiated performance
levels in youth placement and attainment of a degree or certificate and met the
performance in youth literacy and numeracy attainment.
The HOOD is supported by the Chester County Workforce
Investment Board and the Chester County Department of Community Development.
