Communities

More than 15,000 retail partners are expected to challenge themselves in a five-month-long competition that will spotlight the foundational skills of a Starbucks barista.

At Starbucks, we believe it is our responsibility to contribute positively to the communities we serve.

Our partners (employees) have always been the heart of Starbucks.  In every store and every community, they bring joy to the everyday. 

Join us as we celebrate alongside our indigenous partners (employees) as they share stories about identity, culture and tradition.

The first-ever licensed Starbucks Community Store in Ohio has been a cornerstone of connection in the neighborhood since it opened.

Starbucks has committed to investing $100 million in local nonprofits and small businesses in communities with historically limited access to capital.

The benefit concert, in its 26th year, features five of the state’s best high-school jazz bands and gives 100% of ticket sales back to local music programs.

These stores offer unique opportunities for Starbucks partners (employees) to connect with, engage and represent the communities they serve.

The project, launching this spring in four downtown stores, is part of a public-private King County initiative called Partnership for Zero (PFZ)
