The Monkey & The Elephant is Philadelphia’s first and only non-profit coffee shop employing and supporting former foster youth. By choosing to purchase coffee and baked goods from their shop, you are supporting the former foster youth in their programme.
The cafe’s programme teaches young adults valuable skills such as budgeting, resume building, and other practices to assist them towards a healthy adulthood. With The Monkey & The Elephant’s mission, Philadelphia area foster youth now have a community and a place to call their own.
