Get some positivity here!
You may know The Modern Coffee Shop as a place to grab your daily cup of joe, but did you know it also acts as a workforce development program? Modern House hires Birmingham’s homeless in an effort to provide them with job training and life skills they can carry on to their next place of employment.

One, in particular, is to become involved in organizations designed to promote friendship, common purpose and cross-cultural understanding. From Alabama 4-H and Girls, Inc. to the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, here are 18 organizations in Birmingham doing just that.
