The Guild for Human Services is partnering with Revival Café + Kitchen to create an accessible community space where connection, inclusion, and opportunity come together.

Brewing up good coffee and real opportunities, The Guild Café will provide meaningful work for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It will be a cafe for everyone, designed with inclusion, growth, community, and sustainability in mind.

The Guild serves around 160 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities annually through educational, residential, and clinical programs. Each student and adult resident has a customized plan designed to allow them to achieve their full potential, including an individualized vocational training plan starting at the age of 14.

According to a survey commissioned by Special Olympics, 21% of working age adults with intellectual disabilities are unemployed and 28% have never had a job. For individuals with disabilities, work opportunities provide a sense of meaning and purpose, offer social interactions, contribute to a feeling of self-sufficiency, build self-esteem, and contribute to an overall sense of independence and well-being.

The Guild is committed to our mission: to educate, encourage and empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they may achieve their full potential to lead high-quality lives and participate meaningfully in the community. The Guild Café will be a place to work, connect, and belong for individuals with disabilities and the larger Metrowest community.

A project like this depends on its community. Your support will help the Guild Café succeed and build opportunity for years to come.
