Curt’s Cafe’s are regular cafes (serving breakfast, lunch, all the coffee drinks you can think of, and catering) whose mission is to improve outcomes for young men and women living in at-risk situations through workforce and life skills training.

How do we do that?

First, we have managers to run the cafes and train our participants and Social Service Providers to work with our participants to ensure they receive the resources they need while in the program and teach them valuable Life Skills.

Second, because we meet our participants where they are, the experience level of our participants varies so we always have qualified people to help run the cafes!
