Harvest Culinary Arts
The "Harvest Culinary Arts" program will give those in need a skill to re-enter the workforce at an above basic skill level. This program will establish self worth and confidence that may be lacking from homelessness and abuse. The "Harvest" program will give students a firm foundation to be effective in the demanding as well as rewarding field of hospitality.
Students going through the apprenticeship program will have hands on training plus real life experience when they complete the program. This will give them confidence and a market edge when entering the work force.
All students in training will design and prepare a "banquet" once a quarter to feed the poor, lame, crippled, homeless, and blind. Students and faculty will create an environment that is pleasing to GOD, family, employer, and customers. We will conduct ourselves and how we do business in a way that will be honoring to GOD. For nearly eight years I did not talk about my struggles as a homeless person for fear of getting the look I got as a homeless person.
This program offers each student the Serv-Safe Sanitation course and certification as well as an American Culinary Federation approved six-month Apprenticeship program. Culinary teams would be established, which would train for competitions and to help missions. This will develop teamwork and self esteem. The program will develop confidence for students to go into the "world" and make a difference as well as a living.
Students will know that others have walked in their shoes by GOD'S GRACE have a new life and living out GOD'S plan.
