About the Business

Portland's coffee culture is a great way for homeless and transitional youth to be involved, and p:ear is providing them the opportunity with an eight week training program in partnership with Nossa Familia Coffee. Participants in the program learn the art and science of coffee from bean sourcing to milk textures, as well as customer service and basic money management. The program builds the youth's self-confidence and resumes, and provides them with consistent and ongoing mentorship.

The Trim/Vojdani Gallery at p:ear is part of an innovative art program for homeless and transitional youth, featuring 10 annual art shows and six shows in the community. These events give p:ear youth the chance to engage with around 2,500 art enthusiasts each year. Additionally, they receive tickets to local arts organizations where they can experience different types of art, improving their skills and preparing them to become part of the next generation of arts makers and patrons.

Publisher Info

  • "Ten years ago we saw a need. There were thousands of homeless kids in Portland. For many, the very foundation of their lives had been stripped away. Using the tools of education, art and recreation - p:ear forms one-one-one relationships with these youth. These connections give them the opportunity to rebuild their lives." Beth Burns, Executive Director
