Curt's Cafe on Track to Receive City Grant

Evanston's Economic Development Committee voted Wednesday to give Curt's Cafe, which trains at-risk teenagers and young adults, a $21,000 city grant, Evanston Now reports.

The grant would be divided into $3,000 chunks, one for each of seven people to complete the cafe's job training program and find a job within a month of finishing, the article states. The full city council still needs to approve the action. 

Curt’s Café, a coffee shop at 2922 Central Street, provides a daily stipend, job training and job placement to young adults between the ages of 15 and 24, all of whom have come in contact with the juvenile justice system for one reason or another.
