Cafe Momentum

Café Momentum Atlanta, opened in March 2025, marks an exciting expansion of a national mission to create pathways out of incarceration so today’s justice-involved youth have access to resources, opportunity and trauma-informed support such that they and their future generations can dream without limits. Since 2015, Café Momentum has been a catalyst for change, supporting over 1,200 justice-involved youth (ages 15-19) across Dallas, Pittsburgh and Nashville through a paid workforce development internship and program. By immersing young people in the restaurant industry and providing them with mental health support, access to education and 24-7 case management, we prepare them for a brighter future and create a space where they can realize their full potential.
