CORE BELIEFS
OUR PROGRAM
Sprouts equips youth to rise from hardship through culinary training and job placement.
Youth are paired with a chef mentor and case manager to develop the skills needed to secure and maintain a culinary job. Graduates use these entry-level jobs to kickstart culinary careers, pay for education, or pursue new industries.
THE NEED
170,000+ Bay Area youth live in poverty. Tens of thousands more face hardship such as gang violence, homelessness, abuse, high school dropout, crime, and drugs.
