NDSS is proud to partner with The COFFEE Idea, a Greenville, South Carolina based company that Cultivates Opportunities For Future Employment and Entrepreneurship for individuals with disabilities so they may gain valuable work experience and training that they will use in the workplace.
The COFFEE Idea has helped individuals with disabilities in 12 High Schools gain over 20,000 hours of real work training as a part of a transition program. The COFFEE Idea has set up over 30 training cafes and established a private label fundraising program, in which NDSS is now a featured charity partner.
The COFFEE Idea and NDSS partnership was initiated by Donald Bailey, who serves as Chairman of the College Transition Connection in Charleston, South Carolina. Donald and his wife, Caroline, have been involved in helping develop post-secondary educational opportunities around South Carolina for young adults with intellectual disabilities.
The COFFEE Idea roasts specialty coffee and distributes many other delicious specialty beverages and products. They will donate 50% from each purchase to the National Down Syndrome Society with an additional 25 cents per purchase going to the College Transition Connection.
