B3 is a nonprofit that provides social and vocational opportunities for people of all abilities. Using the way coffee brings people together, we aim to facilitate community between people with and without disabilities and ultimately advance disability justice, allyship, and inclusion.
Being, Belonging, & Becoming (B3)
- BEING: we appreciate diverse ways of being & embrace the natural variation of what it means to be human. We recognize the inherent dignity and worth in being, and we honor individual differences.
- BELONGING: we strive to create spaces where everyone belongs. Belonging, to us, means people of all abilities are fully engaged in communities of choice, and moreover, recognized as valued members.
- BECOMING: we believe in becoming better together, through inviting diversity to enrich our lives, workplaces, and communities. One cup at a time, we strive to influence change toward a more inclusive and equitable world.

Our Summer CHILL Programming is bringing out a creative side in everyone!
In our CHILL TIME programming, participants explore a variety of low cost, minimal prep hobbies to occupy their “chill time,” such as:
Paint by number
Geocaching
Meditation and yoga
Bird watching
Finger knitting
Today we focused on different art based hobbies. Participants rated their enjoyment of each activity and came away with a self-monitoring chart with selected new hobbies to incorporate in everyday life.
#accessibility ID: A variety of slides showing participants creating art and showing off their art - abstract art, paint by number, sticker by number, and / or inking.

We were so honored to have some awesome visitors from Jordan High School today! These students learned about what it’s like to work at a coffee shop through hands-on vocational tasks and exploration of B3’s accessible workplace features. Everyone got to enjoy our iced berry tea with blueberry boba as well 😍🧋🫐

This morning, we were joined by an ECU OT professor, Anne Dickerson, who visited B3 to seek B3 member/care partner input on resources she’s developing on the topic of transportation for Neurodivergent folks.
We are excited to see what Dr. Dickerson comes up with and appreciate her desire to engage the disability community.

Thank you @uncchapelhill / @ryan_lavalley for hosting us in partnership with @ocnydoh & department of aging at the Seymour Center. We enjoyed serving you via our pop-up coffee shop model. Today’s favorite was iced oat milk chai. ✨


We are excited to have three full time @dukeotd fieldwork students placed with B3 this summer!✨🫶
These students will be involved in all aspects of B3 and equipped with an understanding of neurodiversity affirming practices to take into their future careers as occupational therapists.
Please give a warm welcome to Candice, Elizanette, and Ariel 💛👏🌈♾️
