We help youth at the margins of opportunity access futures that are healthy and sustainable, enabling them to achieve personal and economic independence.
Refill Cafe will be a non-profit workforce development café in the community of west Jackson, MS. It will provide young adults who have fallen outside the traditional school system with the skills and opportunity to pursue a career path within the food and hospitality industry. Refill Cafe (“Refill”) will operate a vibrant restaurant and retail establishment with training stations to develop functional competencies and occupational skills for program participants. In addition, Refill will address the participants’ holistic development to ensure they are set up for success beyond the program. To that end, the program intends to offer social service support, educational support, mentoring, and employment services—all offered either directly through Refill or indirectly through a partner. The program will be a long-term anchor for participants as we help place them into internships, jobs, advanced training programs, and even postsecondary opportunities leading to a degree.
