Do you LOVE the beverage TEA and Jesus? Have you ever dreamed about serving both as your job?
Cafe Barnabas is a Business As Ministry para-church organization located in Topeka, KS. We use a tea cafe as an energetic mentorship lab where student volunteers gain employability skills, positive conversations, and a place to belong with the goal of leading
students to Christ and connecting them to a local church. Our desire is that people who join our team would enjoy working in a creative, flexible beverage environment designed to foster personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
WHY? (Mission Statement)
Our Mission is to Cultivate a life, one tea at a time.
We strive to craft the BEST local tea, create outstanding experiences inside and outside the cafe, and challenge and encourage students to take one step closer to their personal goals and Christ.
The BEST person for this position would be described as a positive person who can name their favorite tea, thinks 7-12th grade students are cool and has a visible confirmable faith in the Triune God of the Bible. A shift lead is a Manager and Mentor who
is a courageous champion of our volunteers willing to encourage other team members when something goes wrong, willing to provide direction for how to make things go right, and willing to energetically celebrate our team's wins. Responsibilities will include
task delegation, cash management, conversation cultivation, physical beverage creation requiring standing for 6-8 hour shifts, equipment, and space sanitation consistent with retail food service, tea sales, and customer service, and occasional special events
for volunteers. Our shift leads are missionaries who are teachable, enthusiastic, and ambitious.
Are you ready to make the world a better place using tea to mentor students? If you have gotten this far and are still interested, we want to speak with you to see if we are a good fit for each other.
