This summer, our young men received their SERV Safe Certification as part of an ARPA grant program under the direction of the 2Fish Community Cafe and the Melton Center.  As part of their training, they spent the summer prepping nutritional meals for several programs, including the New Directions Summer Camp, YWMIC Summer program, and the Synergy Recovery House.   They also learned about Community Gardening from Chef Joel and Chef Kenny.

Some of these young men have graduated high school and are prepping for a career while being trained in comprehensive culinary training program.
