Belonging isn’t built overnight. Apprenticeship takes time. Confidence takes time. Community takes time.
At Arboretum Coffee, apprentices spend a full year growing through life-skills training, mentorship, and hands-on job experience, building careers and meaningful relationships in Northern Colorado.
That kind of transformation happens through steady support and consistent community.
This April, we’re inviting 40 monthly partners to join The Welcome Circle. Together, those partners can fully fund one apprentice for an entire year, covering their training, mentorship, and paid job experience.
That’s a full year of:
Growing confidence
Building skills
Forming community
Moving toward long-term stability
What is The Welcome Circle?
The Welcome Circle is our community of monthly partners who help sustain Arboretum Coffee’s apprenticeship program year-round. Monthly partners make it possible for apprentices to grow through:
