Worth Our Weight Apprenticeship Program

Worth Our Weight supports underserved young people, that is, economically disadvantaged youth who have faced challenges in their lives, including commitment to the foster care system, difficulties with the law, homelessness or significant family disruption.
 
Our vision is to invite these people into the greater world of food, including farming, professional cooking and eating high quality food prepared by chefs and other food service professionals, as well as food they have prepared with their own hands.
