South Vancouver "First Cup" Kiosk
NOT IN OPERATION AT THIS TIME
Operated by SVNH at 41st Avenue & Victoria Drive, our First Cup Kiosk functions as a volunteer training program, teaching cash register use, espresso machine and customer service skills. This program is a great volunteer experience for those wanting to get into the customer service field. It has also become a wonderful addition to the neighbourhood. For more information Contact Eda at the Kiosk (604)324-1562 or call Kwangyoung at SVNH at (604)324-6212.
