Our Mission

We strive to break the cycle of homelessness through employment and empowerment. We create job opportunities, build universally applicable skills through vocational training, and facilitate one-on-one career mentorship to young adults experiencing homelessness.

Kindness, Opportunity, Responsibility, and Inclusion are the core principles of Breaktime Cafe. In addition to providing top-quality, delicious products, we firmly believe that our communities are stronger when everybody has a fair opportunity to work and successfully launch their careers. Our team works relentlessly to provide quality, good-paying jobs to young adults facing systemic, unjust barriers to the workforce due to their housing status.

 Let us be your one-stop-shop for your events, office spaces, parties, and other catering needs in the Harvard Square area!
