how does this work?
Every purchase you make, whether online or in our stores, supports our mission. 100% of the proceeds go back into our program.
Youth participate in our extensive job training program for 6-12 months, working in both online and brick-and-mortar bookstores. The revenue from these businesses helps pay their wages and offsets the costs of the supportive programming we offer beyond work skills.

"They taught me how to be professional. They gave me a chance to be a leader with other youth on shift. It wasn’t just a bookstore; it was a home where I felt comfortable."
