Mission statement/Short description:
We are a non-profit social enterprise. We provide refugees with in-depth culinary training as well as employability, equity, and empowerment training. Throughout our program, students learn in both a classroom and apprentice setting, thanks to our cafes and catering businesses. We set students up for successful employment in an industry in which their cultural heritage and cuisine can be celebrated. What’s more, we provide a community in which they can build supportive relationships.
