Pop-Up Dinners

 Café Momentum Pop-Up Dinners are a special experience produced in partnership and collaboration with community partners, and like-minded organizations. These events build awareness and showcase the Momentum Model for Youth Justice to new communities and audiences. Our pop-up dinners are designed to open hearts and minds while starting important conversations about the Momentum model. These special dining experiences showcase the resilience of our youth,  the outcomes of our work, Momentum’s projected impact and our vision for systemic change.
