Coffee that does good.

In 2009, Street Bean was established to provide supportive employment training for young adults experiencing housing instability in Seattle. The four month Apprenticeship Program was designed with trauma-informed practices and one-on-one engagement at the forefront to meet young people where they are at.

Coffee isn't just about the transfer of goods and services – it's a catalyst for so many other things. Every day, people meet over coffee to discuss business, decide their weekend plans, or to catch up with old friends. Every day, coffee shops are utilized as community spaces to engage with the local culture. The specialty coffee industry itself serves as an avenue for social justice, climate impact awareness, and so much more.

Street Bean's goal is for apprentices to see and experience this side of coffee; And if coffee isn't their thing, apprentices will acquire the soft and hard skills necessary for becoming a strong employee, no matter the industry they pursue.
