[福建泉州四校 2024 高二期末联考]A new coffee shop in New York lets its customers help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in every cup! This is the first coffee shop by Café Joyeux, which is based in Europe. They hire individuals with IDD, providing valuable training and employment opportunities and empowering them along the way.
Café Joyeux was founded in France in response to the alarming fact that over 8 million people with IDD in the US face an 80% unemployment rate. The coffee shop aims to fight against this inequality by not only providing inclusive employment but also leading the way in promoting workplace inclusion more broadly.
The story started on a sailing boat in Brittany, France, where Captain Yann Bucaille-Lanrezac, a successful businessman, shared his passion for sailing with passengers of all abilities. During a trip, Theo, a young man with IDD, asked Yann for a job. Yann hesitated, saying it was complicated, leaving Theo silent. This encounter led to the creation of Café Joyeux, which employs and trains people with mental and cognitive disabilities. It has since expanded to over 19 locations across Europe.
In early 2024, the first American Café Joyeux opened in New York City. Bucaille-Lanrezac and his wife, Lydwine Bucaille, founders of Café Joyeux, employed 169 team members with disabilities. They believed their employees could provide excellent products and services, and stressed the significance of equal rights and fair treatment in the workplace. They started by empowering their employees and reinvesting 100% of their profits to further this mission, both within and outside their cafés.
Early supporters, like Giovana Mullins, have praised the coffee shop Café Joyeux for its welcoming atmosphere. “As a customer walking in, even if you don’t know what this coffee shop is all about, you will feel the energy and the joy,” she said.
