Café Momentum Internship
Discover your potential
Café Momentum is a fine-dining restaurant that provides a paid internship for young people ages 15–19 with lived experience in the juvenile justice system within the last 12 months. From paid workforce development training, academic and financial education and mental health services, we want to provide the vital resources for you to reclaim your identity, gain self-confidence and learn marketable skills.
The person I am now is because of Café Momentum. I'm now on the other side — giving the help vs. receiving it. And that means everything to me.
