Melbourne café gives staff members with intellectual disabilities a chance to thrive
Michael Otto says he has already made “too many” coffees to count since the opening of the Chancez café in Epping last Wednesday.
Michael, who has Down syndrome, is one of 15 adults with an intellectual disability who have been in training for the past 18 months in preparation for employment at Chancez.
“I love it, my favourite part is serving customers,” the 23-year-old told 9news.com.au.
The café is located in the recently opened Epping Community Services Hub on High Street, owned by the City of Whittelsea and managed by lead tenant The Brotherhood of St Laurence.
