more than a building
Café Momentum’s mission is to transform young lives by equipping our community’s justice-involved youth with life skills, education and opportunities to help them achieve their full potential.
The Café Momentum Flagship will be located in Dallas’s Wilson Historic District on the Meadows Campus, a vibrant hub of over 33 nonprofits providing arts, education and health resources. This collaborative ecosystem will amplify our impact, offering interns and families generational opportunities for growth.
