In 1975, people with disabilities had little access to employment and our students had little access to experiences working with disabled community members-so the coffee shop model was a wonderful solution to a big societal problem at that time. Tom Walz created Wild Bill's Coffee Shop in 1975 (scroll down for more History) to provide a vocation for Bill Sackter, and since then it has evolved to become a nonprofit, service-learning project of the University of Iowa School of Social Work, with a focus on the clinical education of social work students and service to the community of people with disabilities.
