Our Mission

Our mission is two-fold:

(1) Create employment opportunities for individuals with different abilities through Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE).

(2) Create a space for both the typically- and differently-abled community to experience the joy of learning from and working with new friends.

We believe all communities benefit from diversity and inclusion. However, it’s difficult to find businesses that afford the opportunity for both employees and customers to experience more than a simple transaction. At Joy Bar Coffee, it’s so much more than a cup of coffee - it’s an opportunity to experience true diversity, appreciation, inclusion, and (most of all) JOY. We believe in our mission so much, we named our business after its key element!
