DIRT Coffee Bar is a nonprofit organization that started with a mobile coffee truck in 2013 and expanded to a brick-and-mortar cafe in 2018 to train, employ, and place neurodivergent individuals in long-term roles. It focuses on adults with autism and other intellectual or developmental differences who are underrepresented in the workforce, offering on-the-job training and collaboration with employers and the broader community to reduce underemployment and influence hiring practices. Based in Littleton, Colorado, the organization operates within the nonprofit sector, integrating hospitality with workforce development. Its program serves neurodivergent job seekers and employers seeking inclusive hiring solutions, providing individualized services tailored to each participant. The group is mid-sized and runs both a mobile service and a brick-and-mortar location to train and place participants.
