What Impact Really Looks Like

“My most impactful moment during this journey was hearing one of our students from our coffee camps share his excitement and enthusiasm after he had a chance to make his mother a cup of coffee using the skills he learned at camp.”

— Keith Hawkins, Founder & CEO

Our Impact

Coffee is the second most traded global commodity in the world. The industry touches billions of lives — from the farmers who grow it to the consumers who drink it every morning. But for too long, the expertise, opportunity, and economic mobility that come with specialty coffee have been concentrated in the hands of a few.

Every person we educate is a step toward changing that. Every young person who completes Coffee Camp carries that knowledge forward — into careers, into their communities, into the next generation of coffee professionals who will look nothing like the ones before them.

That's the impact we're after. And we're just getting started.

Our first formal impact report is in progress. In the meantime, we'd love to tell you directly what we've built and where we're headed.
