Chef Training Program Overview

We help Bay Area/ NYC youth experiencing hardship achieve stability and financial autonomy through life skills coaching and ​restaurant internships.

We will work closely with you to determine personal and professional goals and a timeline of action items so that you grow through your work within the community. You will enjoy autonomy as you work under the board’s visions and hand-in-hand with the Program Director and to make key decisions on the Chef Training strategic plan and impact goals. You will actively collaborate with team members including Sprouts’ Executive Director.
