The mission of The Monkey & The Elephant (M&E) is to fortify former foster youth with personal and professional skills, employment, and the supportive community needed to lead a sustainable, independent life. We advance our mission through the Employment Training Programs at our nonprofit coffee shop in the Brewerytown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Participants complete an intensive employment training program combining paid professional development and a part time job.Together and guided by mentors, program employees earn income, receive intentional coaching, and are provided with a supportive space to learn and grow before they transition to educational or other job opportunities.
