Organisation: Evolve
Evolve
At Evolve, we offer well paid, supported, meaningful employment and training opportunities to young people (aged 16-25) affected by a range of social issues including; mental ill health, substance misuse/addiction/homelessness.
We currently have two coffee shops, one in Digbeth and one in Selly Park, where our young people train to Barista Level 3 alongside completing an apprenticeship in customer service.
We believe that tailored employment opportunities, coupled with a supportive and understanding workplace, can be crucial for people to make a sustainable and lasting change in their lives.
