STEAM Café
STEAM Cafe Education & Employment Opportunities for Formerly Incarcerated Women
The STEAM Cafe offers returning women a pathway to employment by providing education, skills training, and mentorship, in a supportive community.
STEAM Café addresses the critical barriers faced by formerly incarcerated women; limited employment, stigma, and lack of access to high-growth career pathways. Our solution combines a trauma-informed community café, paid employment, and a STEAM learning academy within one supportive hub. Participants build confidence, earn income, and gain marketable technical skills that lead to stable, lucrative careers. The result is stronger families, safer communities, a more resilient workforce, and reduced recidivism through meaningful community integration.
