Help us bring a coffee shop like Kansas City's never seen! * Gourmet coffee * Art * Community * On-the-Job training to youth with and without disabilities
Who are we? A Cup on the Hill is a non-profit organization designed to help youth 16-25 years old, with and without disabilities, gain access to the workforce by providing volunteerism, on-the-job training with paid employment, responsibility education, and connections to the surrounding Metro area. Employees will go through a 6-12 month program depending on their capabilities and ambitions before job placement. For more information on our program, please go to www.acuponthehill.org or email us at acuponthehill@gmail.com
How will the cafe work? We will work with local farmers markets to get the freshest ingredients for our food, a local family owned KCK roaster for our gourmet coffee, and use several methods of brewing for our customers to choose from, including:
- Cold slow drip
- Espresso
- Pressed
- Drip
- Ibrik or Turkish for the cultural experience of our area
How can you help? A Cup on the Hill has established a business plan and financial projections, held two board meetings, and has developed a flexible work training program.
