WHILE EACH EMPLOYEE IS UNIQUE, THEY HAVE ALL LEARNED NEW SKILLS AND GAINED CONFIDENCE THAT TRANSFERS BEYOND THE COFFEE SHOP. SEVERAL HAVE NOW TRAINED TO SERVE IN MULTIPLE CAPACITIES. FOR EXAMPLE TW WAS HIRED A BARISTA BUT CAN ALSO NOW SERVE AS A CASHIER. NF WAS HIRED AS A SERVER BUT IS NOT ABLE TO MAKE DRINKS AS A BARISTA, TOO. IT IS IMPORTANT TO US THAT EACH STAFF PERSON SHARES THEIR GOALS WITH THE DIRECTORS AND CONSISTENTLY SEEKING AND MEETING NEW CHALLENGES. THE STAFF IS PROUD TO SERVE THEIR COMMUNITY AND WORKS HARD TO CREATE A JOYFUL SPACE FOR CUSTOMERS TO GATHER. THE EMPLOYEES ARE A SOCIAL CREW WHO ENJOY BEING AT THE CAFE TOGETHER AND ALSO ENJOY CONNECTING OUTSIDE OF WORK. BECAUSE WE ARE LOCATED AT THE YMCA, SEVERAL HAVE BECOME MEMBERS AND CAN BE FOUND SWIMMING, WORKING OUT OR PLAYING BASKETBALL. OUR STAFF IS THRILLED TO BE A PART OF TEAM KINDNESS AND THEY EXPRESS THAT GRATITUDE FREQUENTLY, IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING A PAYCHECK EVERY TWO WEEKS, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THEY HAVE ALL BENEFITED FROM THE STRUCTURE, SOCIAL CONNECTION, OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH, SENSE OF PURPOSE, AND CONNECTION TO THE GREATER COMMUNITY THAT KINDNESS PROVIDES. WHILE THE STATED MISSION OF KINDNESS IS TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, AT KINDNESS WE ALSO STRIVE TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR CUSTOMERS AND LARGER KINDNESS COMMUNITY. THROUGH OUR INTERACTIONS AT THE CAFE AS WELL AS EMAIL AND SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS, WE ARE ENCOURAGING OUR COMMUNITY TO BE MORE PURPOSEFUL IN THOUGHT AND ACTION AND (OF COURSE) SHARE KINDNESS WITH FRIENDS AND STRANGERS ALIKE. WE HOPE TO CHALLENGE PEOPLES PERCEPTIONS ABOUT ADULTS WITH COGNITIVE DISABILITIES AND ENCOURAGE MORE MEANINGFUL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES. THIS IS SLOW, GENERATIONAL WORK BUT WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES CAN INFLUENCE THE TYPICALLY DEVELOPING COMMUNITY IN IMPORTANT WAYS-AS REMINDERS TO SLOW DOWN, LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT OTHER AND PRIORITIZE RELATIONSHIPS. WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK OUR STAFF HAS DONE AT KINDNESS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT LIE AHEAD.
