Going the Distance in Growing Lives with Tonya Guinn

  • Summary

  • The story keeps on brewing as The Trail Youth Coffee Home continues to grow their programs and the lives that they impact.

    Tonya Guinn, Executive Director of Trail Youth Coffee Home shares what's brewing on the horizon for the teens, the tweens and all the great programming in between. Trail Youth was founded in 2014 on the trails in Issaquah Washington, when 3 caring moms took coffee, donuts, and soup to the at-risk teens living on the trails. They were serving more than a hot drink, they were serving kindness and compassion, they were letting the teens know that they cared, that they valued them, and they mattered.

    In 2018 they were awarded a grant and makeover through Returning the Favor with Mike Rowe (Dirtiest Jobs), and he surprised these ladies with what is now the Trail Youth Coffee Home. A safe place for teens to get a free drink, hang out, and know that people really care, a place where there are no labels, just words of affirmation.

    Trail Youth truly pours into the youth, from a free drink to barista training, mentoring, training programs for marketing, hosting their own podcast (Grounds of Love), AA for teens, activities such as art, poetry readings, D&D meet ups, and much much more. Check out their web site for all the details on how you can be involved, order coffee both personally or for your business, and pour into this amazing organization, www.trailyouth.com
