Elpis Enterprises (Elpis is Greek for hope) is a youth development organization focusing on youth employment training and small business education. Participants "work" all areas of the business and learn, earn, and profit as they go. Operating business enterprises include a four-color screen-printing operation and a woodworking shop that utilizes only reclaimed and recycled wood products. In addition, Elpis' young staff conducts hands on workshops at its facility for youth groups from throughout the area as well as conducting community-building activities at offsite locations.
