YOUR gift
makes an impact
what it costs:
An apprenticeship in a Prodigy enterprise costs approximately $17,000 per apprentice. The internal certifications, in the moment coaching, professional development mirror a year of technical college. Except Prodigy graduates are equipped to enter a career and have built a foundation to transform our city.
Revenue from our coffeehouse covers the additional costs of running an enterprise and the living wages earned during barista and shift-lead shifts.
Gifts from generous donors, like you, pay for the top notch training, support, job development, certifications, identity development, social capital building, and healing needed for an apprentice to experience sustained economic mobility.
Join us today in fueling apprenticeship and creating a more equitable economy.
