Improving outcomes for young adults (ages 15-24) living in at-risk situations through work and life skills training.

CompassionCaféCateringCommunity

FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS, the programs and people of Curt’s Café have been transforming lives

Over 650 students have completed our carefully structured program of work and life skills training

Since opening in 2012 only 5% of our students have returned to prison. State and National rates are both above 80%. We are so proud of our students and the futures they are building after completing our program.

It all began in 2012
