Café Momentum

If you’ve ever had the privilege to meet Tristyn…then you already know. When she was an intern at Café Momentum Dallas, she was the repeat Intern of the Week, held down the pastry chef station like she was born for it, always listening and observing. She is every letter of DEPENDABLE and TRANSFORMATION. She has shown us that when we believe in our young people, they believe in us. They elevate their communities. It has been a gift to witness. Thank you, Dallas and beyond, for participating in Tristyn’s journey. We invite you to pave the way for more young people by joining us in our #40DaysofGratitude and donating to #eatdrinkchangelives for justice-involved youth at the link below. 💛 https://lnkd.in/gm-TY4Zn #createchange4youthjustice #cafemomentum #dallasnonprofit #transformation #motivationmonday

During our 40 Days of Gratitude, we’re celebrating incredible stories like Lucci’s. A former intern at Café Momentum, Lucci decided to not let his past define him. Through hard work, determination and the support of our program, he embraced the opportunity to meet his full potential. Now, as a Momentum Ambassador, Lucci inspires others with his journey of overcoming challenges and stepping into his greatness. Let’s honor Lucci’s transformation and the power of accessibility to resources that allow our youth to rewrite their narratives. Accessibility that is made possible by our generous friends and donors- by YOU. Thank you for your unwavering support. To increase your impact this year, schedule a donation at the link below. 💛 THANK YOU! https://lnkd.in/gm-TY4Zn #cafemomentum #40daysofgratitude #nonprofit #impact #motivationalmonday #dallas

Chad’s vision started with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a space where justice-involved youth could rewrite their stories. His passion, dedication and laughter continue to inspire our interns, chefs and staff every day. From the kitchen to the community, Chad leads with compassion, showing what’s possible when we believe in the potential of every young person. It is with great gratitude that we celebrate Café Momentum’s Founder CEO, Chad Houser, today.

During our #40DaysofGratitude, we’re spotlighting the place where we can all gather together: our restaurant. Every dish served is more than a meal, it’s an opportunity for our youth to practice, grow and build skills for their future. When you dine with us, you’re giving our young people the chance to gain real-world experience in a supportive, empowering environment. Your meal helps them rewrite their stories. Join us Thursday-Saturday, 5:30-9:30pm. Reservations are available via @opentable or by giving us a call at 214.303.1234.

This Giving Tuesday, NFL legend Shaun Alexander shares why he supports Café Momentum’s mission to transform the lives of justice-involved youth. In his heartfelt message, Shaun reflects on his journey with Café Momentum—from making biscuits with interns to seeing youth like Maya rewrite their stories. Maya, once a Café Momentum intern, is now building a meaningful career at a children’s hospital, paying hope forward every day. As Shaun says, “That’s what Café Momentum does. It takes kids who might have gone down one path and moves them into ways that lead to greatness.” Join Shaun and Café Momentum today: 👉 Donate now to fuel change in Dallas, Pittsburgh, Atlanta (opening soon) and Denver: momentumadvisory.co (national expansion) and cafemomentum.org (select a city) 👉 Spread the word by reposting Shaun’s inspiring message Together, we’re building momentum to bring Café Momentum to NFL cities, proving that extraordinary things happen when a community believes in its youth. #GivingTuesday #EatDrinkChangeLives #CaféMomentum
