The Lebanon Work Immersion interns traveled to Bethlehem to visit Bitty & Beau’s Coffee. Interns were able to speak with the owner of the Bethlehem location and several employees to learn about the company and how they support individuals with disabilities. All of the employees they met have been employed since 2022 since the location opened! They were able to give great advice to the interns about being successful in the workplace, which will be very beneficial as they all start their jobs in the coming weeks. Bitty & Beau’s was founded by Ben and Amy Wright in North Carolina in 2017 as a way to provide employment for their 2 children with Down Syndrome, as well as other community members with intellectual disabilities. They now have 17 locations across the country and employ over 400 individuals with disabilities. They are known as a “human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop.” Check it out if you get a chance! #workworthdoing
