To have an organization like Sprouts, that can really start you at the bottom of the ladder, but get you step-by-step an opportunity of working in different restaurants... it was not easy for [these youth] before. So, it can go only one way: up from now on.

Of Intern Kika Eller: "Kika really blossomed in the kitchen. She would get creative in the kitchen. It was amazing to have Kika. She kept growing and mastering new skills. I can't wait to see what she does with her career."

“I am constantly inspired by Sprouts Chef trainees and am honored to support them as they overcome challenges and take charge of their futures.”

“I can’t think of a better way to invest in everyone’s future, than by investing in the training of youth to become the thoughtful leaders and productive workers of tomorrow.”

I am so supportive of their Chef Training program, which works to bring youth into our restaurants and organic farms, one youth, one restaurant, and one farm at a time.
