LEARN ·2024 Grants ChallengeBrewing Up TAY Job Training Programs
By opening a second location in Northeast LA, Coffee With A Cause (CWAC) can expand its successful social enterprise and double the impact of its job training program for TAY who have experienced foster care, homelessness, and justice system involvement. The new cafe would bring together businesses, supportive services, volunteers and youth on a pathway to a sustainable career.
CREATE ·2023 Grants ChallengeJob Training and Employment Assistance for Transitional Age Youth
We offer a job training program for transitional age youth (TAY) that leads toward ongoing employment. We provide soft skill training before placing the youth into an internship at our cafe, Rosebud Coffee, or one of our partnering local businesses. In partnership with local TAY service providers, each youth is provided a paid internship, supportive services, and preparation for long-term employment. With this grant we hope to double the number of youth interns and expand beyond San Gabriel Valley to East LA.
