“The way coffee company is a nonprofit organization providing a meaningful instructional program and employment experience to students with disabilities. Our mission is to create inclusive opportunities that empower young people with learning difficulties to gain job readiness, build confidence, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.”

“School partnerships maintained and expanded collaborations with local school districts (including fenton, lake fenton, and linden), integrating job coaching and work-based learning experiences into student schedules. These partnerships allowed students to build independence while earning credit toward transition goals. Community engagement and awareness partneed with local organizations to host fundraising events, deliver coffee to schools and community members, and highlight disability-inclusive employment. These activities raised awareness and broadened community support. Program development laid the groundwork for expanded programming by preparing to open our cafe space (scheduled for fall 2024). This included building staff capacity, finalizing instructional models, and launching "pour with purpose", an initiative to replicate our employment program in partnership with for- profit coffee shops. Through these accomplishments, the way coffee company provided meaningful work experiences to students with disabilities while preparing for significant expansion in the upcoming fiscal year.”
