ABOUT THE CAFE

Eat UP Cafe is owned and operated by Union Project, a non-profit corporation. Eat UP is partially staffed by students from Peabody High School's culinary arts academy and by neighborhood residents.

The Union Project and Eat UP Cafe is proud to announce a partnership with Starbucks for our new Youth Barista Program, an onsite skills training program for young adults.

Over the coming year this program will train 30 young men and women aging out of foster care. Forty percent of foster youth end up homeless in their first 2 years out of the system. This program works to change that number locally by providing youth with skills and job placements in café and food service, allowing them to earn a living wage.

Starbucks will be donating all coffee, tea, syrups and paper products used in Eat UP and for training in the Youth Barista Program.

Other vital partners for the Youth Barista Program include the Social Innovation Accelerator, FamilyLinks, Kitchens with Mission, and the Allegheny County Department of Human Services.
