STRATEGY
Life Success Programs
All applicants enroll with life success program partners that offer services such as housing assistance, academic support, life skills building, psychiatric support, and transportation
Restaurant Internships
Youth are carefully placed with mentor chefs and restaurants that match their individual needs. In return for labor, mentor chefs teach youth everything they need to thrive in the restaurant industry. Kitchen teams transform into mentorship families, supporting the youth on their personal journey to success.
Financial Workshops
We partner with financial experts to teach interns crucial money management skills such as budgeting, setting up a bank accounting, and safe credit card use.
