Do Good Donuts and Café is a start-up employment social enterprise delivering work-based training for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our innovative paid, on-the-job training program delivers person-led training in an integrated food service business.

Our employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn how to have a job on the job – bridging the current gap between programs that teach them how to find employment and employers who see their lack of work experience as a barrier to hiring.

At Do Good, employees with disabilities work alongside supportive staff to gain the skills and confidence they need to be ready to work in jobs in the community. Together, we produce delicious donuts and cookies, which are sold at farmer's markets and for catering to clients across the city.  

Not only does this unique approach to training prepare our participants for a successful transition to work, but it also allows the community to see how these often overlooked young people thrive at work.
