Self-described as a not-for-profit social enterprise, CanDo Coffee serves up some of the tastiest [fair trade coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/win-win-coffee) in town -- and it'll give you quite the kick. In addition, the mobile cafe that is part coffee truck creates job opportunities for those who typically have hard time finding employment (and being employed).

That doesn't mean all is lost on those individuals, of course, especially to the team at CanDo. They buck the status quo and know what it means to take a chance on disadvantaged individuals. During their time, they learn about positive transformation and the hard skills needed to make it as an entrepreneur.
