Our Work
At The Color of Coffee Collective, our mission is to cultivate a more equitable and diverse coffee industry that benefits everyone. We are committed to providing disenfranchised and diverse youth and young adults with opportunities to pursue their passions in coffee and beyond, creating a lasting impact on the global specialty coffee industry.
​
We aim to foster a safe and inclusive space for all, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other identity. Our dedication extends to offering resources and support to underrepresented individuals in the coffee industry through mentorship, job training, and financial assistance.
​
We are driven by a passion for creating a culture of respect, inclusion, and collaboration, ensuring that all voices are heard. By promoting equity and diversity within the coffee industry, we believe we can contribute to a more equitable and diverse world.
