Volunteering at the café has not only taught Marcie about good coffee and tea brewing techniques, but has also allowed her to get more involved with our mission to end human trafficking. She says, "I've learned a lot about the prevalence of human trafficking, and how it's unfortunately closer to home than I ever realized."

Meet Sean, one of the co-founders of the Freedom Café here in Durham!
Sean started off as a General Manager and Strategic Planner in the very beginning of the café, and is currently Interim Chair of the Board of Directors.

“When I think about the freedom cafe, and the mission to secure human rights for those in need, I see that it has become a part of me as a public health graduate student at Cornell."

Carol has been a volunteer barista at the Freedom Café for about four years. She began volunteering with us during her freshman year at UNH after attending a Perform for Freedom event. She has since graduated, but continues to live in the area and volunteer each week.

Meet Rachel, one of our very dedicated board members! Rachel has been involved with the Freedom Café since her freshman year at UNH in 2014, when she started out as a volunteer barista, and has been moving up through the ranks ever since! In her time here, Rachel co-founded the Outreach Team, worked as an HR intern, and helped managed the café's interns as Assistant Director.
