Offering employment, educational and social opportunities for individuals with and without special needs.
We have leased a 10,000 square foot building in Red Bank, NJ that will be the new home for our community center. Our community center is designed to create meaningful employment, educational and social opportunities that integrate people with and without special needs. It will house our Design and Build Workshop, a cafe, retail store, as well as an Employment Training Program for adults with special needs. Our Community Center is open to the public, which allows for further assimilation into the community.
Design & Build Workshop
COMING SOON!
Our Design and Build Workshops will combine elements of art, graphic design and engineering to enable customers to design and manufacture small functional items using 3D printers, laser engravers and other equipment. This will allow customers to design functional 3D objects and artisanal crafts. They will have the option to register for one of our scheduled workshops in advance or schedule a workshop as a private birthday party. This is a venue for people with and without special needs to be able to integrate.
Retail Store/ Gift Shop
Our employees with special needs will utilize 3D Printers, Laser Engravers and other technology to make and sell hand-crafted items as well as other merchandise at our retail store.
Café
Light meals and beverages will be made and served by our employees with special needs. Our menu will include sandwiches, pastries, salads, smoothies, flat breads, chicken fingers, coffee and other snacks.
Gaming Lounge
Our gaming lounge will contain hundreds of board games, video games, ping pong, pool tables and other fun, mentally stimulating activities.
Employment for People with and without Special Needs
COMING SOON!
The café, retail store, and the workshop at Build & Brew Café will offer the greatest opportunities for meaningful employment for individuals with and without special needs. Many of our employment opportunities will involve direct and repeated interaction with the public. Some job opportunities include designing, assembling and selling 3D printed kits and other crafts. Other opportunities include assisting with our workshops, maintaining 3D printing equipment, and preparing and serving food orders. These opportunities will allow for the development of valuable skills, foster independence and build character and confidence.
If an employee needs assistance on the job, their DDD budget can be used for supportive employment services and Inclusion Pathways can assign them with a job coach. Job coaches are responsible for keeping their clients on task, providing direction and additional training on tasks that need to be done.
Social Events
COMING SOON!
We will organize events and community activities to encourage socialization.
Events include: trivia night, game shows, karaoke night, crafting night, board game events, and improv night.
These events will take place at our Build & Brew Café in Red Bank, NJ.
