1951 Coffee Company (1951 Coffee) is a non-profit specialty coffee organization seeking to promote the wellbeing of the refugee community in the San Francisco Bay Area by providing job training and employment to refugees while educating the surrounding community about refugee life and issues. 1951 Coffee's name derives from the 1951 Refugee Convention where the United Nations (UN) defined and set forth its first guidelines for the protection of refugees. The UN defines a refugee as someone who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself to the protection of that country. These guidelines were further expanded in the 1967 Refugee Protocols, giving the UN a global mandate. 1951 Coffee Company was founded in 2015 in the spirit of these conventions to give refugees resettling in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area assistance in starting their new lives through opportunities in the rapidly expanding coffee industry. This is accomplished through a barista training program that provides immediately marketable job skills for up to 40 refugees a year and through employment for 10 – 15 refugees annually at the 1951 Coffee Shop located in Berkeley, CA, opening late 2016. Seeking to revolutionize how non-profits, employers, and businesses can empower newly arrived refugees, our organizational model will allow the needs of refugees to be the center of all we do.
