The Sprouts Chef Training Program gives back. I didn’t really have that growing up, so I wanted to make sure that once I had my own place I could do that for somebody.

"I volunteered with Sprouts this past summer and loved it! I work in the nutrition field and so I really enjoyed seeing kids learn the skills needed to get creative with food and live a healthy life. The kids are exposed to amazing chefs in the community and have so many first-rate experiences. The Sprouts team puts in an incredible amount of effort behind the scenes."

Of Intern Rafael Arechiga: "Although Rafael didn't come from the nicest neighborhood, it was nice to see that he finally found a home in the kitchen. I can tell that the kitchen means a lot more than a job to Rafael because he's cooking for more than just himself."

“Sprouts stands out for allowing children into the kitchens of working, professional chefs.”

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.

“Give a young person a spatula, and support, and something exciting starts to sizzle.”
