Ben & Jerry's Youthful Beginnings: Journey to Employment

Ben & Jerry’s PartnerShop Program is a form of social enterprise, a growing movement in which nonprofit organizations leverage the power of business for community benefit.
PartnerShops are Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops that are independently owned and operated by community-based nonprofit organizations. Ben & Jerry’s waives the standard franchise fees and provides additional support to help nonprofits operate strong businesses.
PartnerShops offer job and entrepreneurial training to youth and young adults that may face barriers to employment. As PartnerShop operators, nonprofits retain their business proceeds to support their programs. PartnerShops help people build better lives.
