Business/organization type:
Future Chefs empowers Boston youth to take charge of their future by providing opportunities to lead and to develop the skills needed to grow in their personal and professional life beyond high school. Our conviction is that the life skills and knife skills learned in the kitchen can be applied meaningfully in all avenues of a fulfilling life.
Founder Toni Elka started Future Chefs in 2008, believing strongly that we as a society have a collective obligation to prepare young people to find employment and lead productive lives.
Ms. Elka took action by developing a comprehensive school-to-career program, utilizing her knowledge working with youth throughout her extensive career. Her long-term vision, however, was to enrich and extend workforce development and personal growth opportunities for all teens making the crossing from adolescence to adulthood.
Future Chefs offers three programs that are completed sequentially: A short-term introductory program, a paid after-school work and service program for high school juniors and seniors, and a program for continued engagement and support after high school graduation.
