ASPIRE YOUTH & FAMILY: KIDS AT WORK PROGRAM

The Corner Table is proud to partner with the Kids at Work Program by providing our Community Kitchen as a space to work with at risk youth on a weekly basis.

Kids at Work is an after-school program led by a chef and a Interpersonal / Vocational Coach, designed to help kids (ages 12-17) learn the technical skills of cooking while building better methods of communication.

It is a hands-on, exciting and unique way for them to learn and apply academic and social concepts. Additionally, the kids learn about nutrition and how a healthy diet contributes to greater well-being.

The Kids at Work! Program utilizes the model program, Say it Straight to improve assertive communication and conflict resolution skills. This after-school program is also a great way for teens to gain the skills they need, when they are ready, to get hired for a job.
