We are looking for ambitious young men of color ages 15-17 interested in learning culinary arts to participate in  PRIMED & PREPPED!

They will learn self-awareness skills to develop as a leader, career paths in Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts with hands-on training in a commercial kitchen, and much more!

They can earn program incentives: stipends, overnight stays in hotels, dinner at fine dining restaurants, and internships!

Help our youth living in the Bayview Hunters Point and Sunnydale area.

Prepare for the Future by making sure young men of color, ages 15-17, join us for an informational meeting about the program. At this meeting, they will get a program overview, hear some shared experiences from professionals in the industry,  participate in a Q&A and learn how to enroll.
