Nick Offerman visits Would Works--with a special message for millennials
called #HelloMonday, he decided to bring the cameras to Would Works. The #HelloMonday video series aims to inspire people to achieve their own definition of success for the week--so what is a more fitting backdrop to this message than Would Works on a Monday--where the artisans are working hard to achieve concrete and immediate life goals?
When just before filming Linkedin changed the subject of the series to #SundayScaries: Combatting weekend workplace woes, we had to reevaluate the message. What does the Gen Z and millennial propensity towards workweek anxiety have to do with Would Works? Nick reminds them that having a job is in fact quite a luxury. After all, our artisans are working hard to get back into the workforce and for the simple necessities a reliable paycheck provides. Without being guilt-inducing, Nick finds a way to deliver the message eloquently and humorously.

A Look Into Our Transformative 2023
Winding down this year, we express deep gratitude for your support and engagement with Would Works. 2023 began expansively: WW Community Builders Program Artisans and our team took a field trip to the snow-covered Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains north of the city. Shirley is the Artisan Lead at Would Works and was born and raised in LA. She’s now in her mid-60’s, yet she’s never been up to the Angeles Forest. Our city is surrounded by abundant landscapes, but many residents who face barriers to employment also lack access to experiences in nature. This forest visit reflects the growth trajectory of Would Works, which we illuminate here.
