Do you like people, candles, and building mission-forward businesses? We need more help selling candles and sharing our story, so we can continue to grow and support young men with periods of incarceration.
We are jumping into markets anywhere and everywhere. In addition to the weekly Ballard Farmers Market, we participate in various markets throughout Seattle — Fremont Market, SODO Flea Market, Georgetown Flea, and just about anywhere else we can! Our candles and story do great in person. We believe that people want to help and are looking for opportunities. When we get in front of folks, they do just that! Markets have become one of our primary sales channels and pipelines for new opportunities. The more markets we can do, the more support we can provide! Super flexible — just need to commit to doing two a month. Come help us grow!
About Spír Candle Co:
We exclusively employ young men with periods of incarceration to make our candles — providing jobs, mentorship, and a space to breathe so they can have the best opportunity to become who they aspire to be.
Spir is the Latin word for breathe — something we hope to help others do so more easily.
What We Value:
We believe that people see the problems our world faces and have the desire to help, but often don’t know where to start. So we started Cathedral & Spír with one goal in mind — to build something whose sole purpose of existing was to make this world of ours a more just and beautiful place.
Our mission is to provide a safe space and opportunity for underrepresented youth to feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, and capacity to contribute to something larger than themselves.
