Youth Culinary Programs
Cooking Up Something New in Youth Culinary Arts
In 2023 we decided to pursue the acquisition of a new location that could support a commercial kitchen for our students. This would allow us to provide our high-school culinary training in-house in addition to our existing external intership opportunity. The high school program was envisioned as a vocational training opportunity that would prepare students for work or furthur pursuit of culinary education.
Now our dream has come to fruition and we are pleased to be working with ConVal High School to present the opportunity to the youth of our community.
