Tears of Joy and Gratitude are the best “words” to express the fullness in my heart as I reflect on celebrating 20 years of lives being changed at Old Skool Cafe, thanks to YOU!
It was so sweet to gather alumni, volunteers, former staff, board members, diners, and donors in 2024 to reminisce and share stories of impact from the past two decades. Old Skool Cafe has truly been built in community. For twenty years, people have come together, sharing their time, talents, and resources to invest in at-risk and formerly incarcerated youth. Throughout our anniversary year, I was reminded of one of my favorite proverbs: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Thank you for linking arms with us to help us go far! Over the past 20 years, you have helped us invest in over 1,000 young people's lives. They, in turn, have created a new path and story for their children and community!
I am so proud of what we have accomplished together in 2024. Behind every number and statistic in this report, you’ll meet youth and alumni whose lives have been changed by your participation in this powerful village of support. I hope you’ll watch the videos and stories accompanying the report and share this good news with your own community.
