Empowering Starbucks Partners through Education

Starbucks and ASU collaborate to provide educational opportunities for Starbucks partners who faced obstacles in completing their college education. The 'Starbucks cry fest' offers a platform for graduates to share their stories of challenges and setbacks. The system's ruthless nature often prevents individuals from finishing college. However, through innovative approaches and technology tools, Starbucks and ASU have enabled individuals, including those with past incarceration, to earn their way into college. This initiative aims to provide a crucial service by offering a pathway to education for individuals facing various adversities and challenges.
