Students in our Culinary Job Training program learn to cook healthy and delicious meals.
We offer the only bilingual culinary job training program in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.
We target unemployed and underemployed adults from low-income groups. We began as an organization focused on serving Hispanic immigrants, but thanks to the success of our model, we have been able to expand our services to many other underserved populations as well. Kitchen of Purpose now serves immigrants and refugees from across the globe, veterans, returning citizens, and victims of domestic violence and other traumas.
We tailor the content of our training to what the food service industry requires, offering employers a workforce of employees with comprehensive culinary knowledge, industry certifications, and life and employment skills.
In turn, we offer our clients access to higher-skilled and better-paying jobs to provide a sustainable source of income for themselves and their families.
Our graduates receive employment assistance and guidance for 2 years after graduation and belong to the Kitchen of Purpose family forever.
