Grounds for Growth is 12-week structured training program designed to empower our team members affected by homelessness by providing hands-on barista training, work experiences, and life-skills training. Each team member who completes the program will be celebrated with a graduation and certificate of completion. All funds raised tonight goes directly to building the program and rolling out in the Fall!

Program Structure:

Grounds for Growth is structured as a 12-week experience build around three phases: Foundation, Growth, and Integration.

• Foundation: Team members focus on building self-awareness, establishing healthy rhythms, and developing consistency in how they show up.

• Growth: Team members are equiped with practical skills for work and life, including communication, financial literacy, work habits, and leadership.

• Integration: Team members apply what they have learned to real-life situations, focusing on stability, daily routines, job readiness, and a clear vision for their future.

Together, these phases create a holistic pathway that develops no only job skills but the character, habits, and confidence needed for long-term success.
