Cadence Coffee and Creperie

Dark Roast. Deep Meaning. Cadence Coffeehouse and Creperie is a Social Enterprise that seeks to EMPOWER historically underserved youth through job training programs, create a sense of COMMUNITY that is ACCEPTING of all people, and serve up the best Coffee, Crepes, and Sandwiches in the Mahoning Valley. Our Impact We seek to offer job training and employment opportunities for the youth we serve while supporting programming that builds resilient and strong young adults with any revenue generated by the endeavor. Through community sponsors and business proceeds, annually we intend to employ and train 20 youth that are identified as at-risk. These young people will receive job and life skills training that can help them move on to other opportunities to become productive members of our community. This project has two distinct targets: Empowering youth Empowering youth with issues that may put them at risk (mental health, substance abuse, child welfare and juvenile court involvement, developmental disabilities) to gain important life skills, while serving up the finest espresso-based drinks and crepes in the area! Community Hub The Coffeehouse will be a community hub in downtown Niles that will offer numerous resiliency-based prevention programs for children and families. Those programs include parenting programs (The Incredible Years, and Triple P), pro-social groups that include art, music, poetry, cooking, and mentoring opportunities. Youth on the autism spectrum may take part in our social skills groups, while transition aged youth will gain valuable life skills from programs offered at the coffeehouse. Every kid needs a place to belong. Cadence Coffeehouse and Creperie hopes to be that place for kids who currently do not.
