This program, created by BT the Chef, draws on over 20 years of culinary and hospitality experience. As a former JROTC member, I gained valuable skills in discipline and accountability, which I now aspire to instill in participants. The program is designed to provide structure and support for those seeking a fresh perspective on their potential, from kitchen organization to perfect plating.

Culinary arts can transform lives, offering second chances through dedication and teamwork. Our work-study initiative at Fresh Elements emphasizes accountability, team-building, and daily meditation while prioritizing mental health. We teach the fundamentals of cooking, from knife skills to essential techniques, helping students build a solid foundation for their culinary careers. Ultimately, we aim to reshape mindsets, demonstrating that with discipline and teamwork, anything is achievable.
