Jordy and I have undoubtedly planted permanent roots in Osawatomie, KS. As our family grows and we work with the community, we continuously look for ways to give back. We've donated monetarily, volunteered our skills or services, & hosted events for local school clubs. We're extremely thankful to be able to work in our home town and blessed to be rewarded by their praises. In Spring 2022, Jordy was nominated for Best Entrepreneur - NextGen Under 30 KS. As we celebrated and cheered on fellow recipients, a student-led business was recognize as one of the Most Innovative. We were immediately inspired and began working right away on how we can implement this in our community.
Why P.E.R.K.?
We had plenty of names on reserve for a coffee shop, but as a non-profit organization you need to be as descriptive as possible with what you are trying to do. In our case, we intend to provide a robust entrepreneurial experience for our students. The retail aspect of it of course, being the coffee shop.
It's our goal that this "PERK's" our community both literally and figuratively.
It takes a village:
Our community can get involved by collaborating on workshops for the students, donating, spreading the word, volunteering, and so much more! If you like what we're trying to do and want to help out, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!
