CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeUsing Culinary Arts to Empower and Connect Justice System-Impacted APIs
We propose to increase access to creative industry employment for a cohort of justice system-impacted Asian Pacific Islanders (APIs) by building skills and social support networks by preparing artful, culturally-authentic meals for elderly, food insecure neighbors in LA’s Little Tokyo. Training under a professional chef, the cohort will give back to the community while preparing for employment in the culinary arts industry. This pilot program is designed to disrupt the status quo of traditional reentry programs and Meals On Wheels.
