Black Coffee Northwest

Black Coffee Northwest hosts a 8-week internship program for youth and young adults ages 10 to 22 to participate in weekly skills-training classes, on-site barista training, and job internships with local businesses. Participants have the option to serve as a barista or social justice intern. The core program mission is to support and encourage you... th and young adults during their internship to build confidence and prepare them for the workplace. In addition to our core business services, Black Coffee Northwest (BCNW) serves as a community hub for local Black small business owners, community leaders and activists, and educators to come together, which is central to the BCNW mission and values. BCNW hosts a Black business market on-site weekly and has deep conversations on our Grounded Conversations podcast. BCNW continues to provide and expand on these services and partnerships even while facing complexities and financial challenges. We've been in business since 2020 and our mission is to be a community HUB and serve great coffee. Each cup of coffee is served with love, joy, community care, healing, and peace. The year 2020 presented a unique opportunity for community change in several ways and we chose to provide space for the next generation of leaders. In times of crisis, communities often come together to support one another. We are doing this one cup of coffee at a time. SHORELINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAFERead More
