| History of Bliss Unlimited |
Bliss Unlimited is a project of We Care for Youth
(WCFY), a Burbank, California based not-for-profit organization. It was
started in response to the needs of teens seeking employment and
connection to their community. WCFY has provided thousands of at-risk
and mainstream youth with life-skills and employment readiness training
and job placement, at no cost to them or their families. As with all
projects, WCFY uses Positive Youth
Development
(PYD) fundamentals in the development and delivery of trainings and
programs at Bliss Unlimited.
The challenge to provide more jobs for youth, high-level job skill
training and mentoring on an on-going basis, created Bliss Unlimited.
The business initially started as a coffee brokerage operation in 1995
in a partnership with the Glendale based Piacere Coffee. Teens were
instructed in all aspects of gourmet coffee products and sales
techniques. They began selling coffee to business and government leaders
in the Glendale, CA area in 1995. |
