Job Training Skills
Each summer, you'll have the opportunity to join our barista training program. If you're in need of a skilled trade that makes money with a little know-how - a high school student, young adult coming out of foster care or other state institutions, an adult re-acclimating to life outside of justice-involvement, etc - we welcome you to join us in this job skills program. You'll learn basic safety, earn your food handler's license, and get plenty of supervised, hands-on training to become an excellent candidate for gainful employment in coffee shops, cafes, or restaurants, while earning money for your behind-the-bar shifts.
For more information, to hire us, or to apply for barista training, please email us at [email protected].
