Sprouts Chef Training
FINAL call to make a difference TODAY on #GivingTu FINAL call to make a difference TODAY on #GivingTuesday! Your donation will be DOUBLED due to the generosity of our partner @Amazon. Support Bay Area youth like Sara, who interned at @WaterbarSF last summer under Chef/Owner Parke Ulrich. From a young age, Sara was aware of her family's financial limitations and wanted to be strategic about a path that would help her grow professionally. During her Sprouts' internship Sara was also enrolled in summer coursework. Both enabled her to improve her ability to work with new people AND practice time management. A highlight of her summer at Waterbar was being able to bring her hard work home to share with her family. We appreciate any donation large or small to support deserving youth: ✅ A one-time donation ✅ A recurring monthly donation ✅ Fund an entire Sprouts Chef Trainee's internship! Donate at the fundraiser in our bio or on the donate page on our website. Thank you SO MUCH for your support! 📸 @kimthompsonsteel #sproutscheftraining #culinarytraining #fundafuture #youthempowerment #jobschangelives #ittakesavillage #givingtuesday
#GivingTuesday is almost here! Please help suppor #GivingTuesday is almost here! Please help support life-changing restaurant internships for deserving youth - our generous partner @Amazon will match your donation and double your impact! Kelly had long wanted to enter the culinary world, and joined Sprouts as an intern at @CaliforniosSF last summer under Chef @ValMCantu . Kelly was nervous about meeting new people and working in an unfamiliar kitchen, but the supportive team at Californios helped her feel at ease. Kelly loved feeling part of a team, and was able to improve her technical skills as well as her professional communication skills. We are so grateful for your support! Please donate to support youth like Kelly on the donate page on our website, or at the fundraiser right in our bio. Thank you! 📸 @kimthompsonsteel #sproutscheftraining #culinarytraining #fundafuture #youthempowerment #jobschangelives #ittakesavillage #givingtuesday

We're celebrating #GivingTuesday all week long wit We're celebrating #GivingTuesday all week long with the help of @Amazon's donation matching from now through November 28th! Chef Trainee De’Sean’s passion for food started young. Growing up, he remembers his aunt making mouthwatering food, like her homemade lasagna or her cubed, smothered steak with mashed potatoes and cabbage. As he got older, De’Sean wanted to learn more about how to cook and feed himself and being accepted into the Sprouts Chef Training program helped him do just that, where he interned at @AlabSFMeals under Chef Mikki Buñag. Make a donation to help youth experiencing hardship achieve stability and financial autonomy through the Sprouts Chef Training Program! Upon graduation, youth secure restaurant jobs that kickstart their culinary careers, pay for school, or allow them to pursue different industries. Your entire donation will be matched by @Amazon now through November 28th! Donate via the link in our bio. #sproutscheftraining #culinarytraining #fundafuture #youthempowerment #jobschangelives #ittakesavillage #givingtuesday 📸 @kimthompsonsteel
Do you want to double the impact of your donation Do you want to double the impact of your donation this #GivingTuesday? @Amazon will match your donations until November 28th up to $15K! The best part is that your donation dollars go directly to support culinary training for youth like Guillermo. Guillermo (aka “G”) feels about cooking the same way he feels about drawing: it is an art. G especially enjoys cooking dishes for his grandma such as steak, catfish, salsa, guacamole, french fries, and, his personal favorite, carne asada. Though he's spent time practicing in the kitchen, G made it a personal goal to learn new recipes during his Sprouts internship at @OsitoSF where he trained under mentor Chef @SethStowaway . We'd love your help funding internships for deserving youth like G - click the link in our bio to discover how you can change a life by donating a one-time amount, setting up monthly donations, or even funding an entire internship! #sproutscheftraining #culinarytraining #fundafuture #youthempowerment #jobschangelives #ittakesavillage #givingtuesday 📸 @kimthompsonsteel
