When we’re hiring, we are looking to fill up to 4 positions at the St Paul location and 6 at Minneapolis. Wildflyer Coffee’s vision is to end youth homelessness through dignified employment opportunities. Our Work & Life Skills Program seeks to hire youth in and around the Twin Cities who have lived experience of housing instability or homelessness.

Once your application is submitted, you will receive an email with instructions for the next steps in the hiring process. Although the process begins 2 months before the start date, Wildflyer will do our best to make this a positive and supportive hiring experience. We are excited to connect with all of our applicants, even if we aren't able to offer a position in the cohort.
