Cafe Utec

Cafe UTEC is way more than your average lunchtime eatery. While enjoying a delicious panini, a salad of locally-sourced veggies, or a fresh-baked muffin, you are also showing support of UTEC's important mission to ignite and nurture the ambition of our most disconnected youth to trade violence and poverty for social and economic success. As one of our Workforce Development and Social Enterprise programs, Café UTEC provides youth most in need the opportunity to gain valuable job skills and real earnings to help them pursue positive life choices. Additionally, young leaders are engaged in the building and management of our businesses, further igniting their entrepreneurial spirit.
