About Kitchens For Good

Kitchens for Good is a San Diego nonprofit, founded in 2014, that trains people facing barriers to employment for food and hospitality careers. It launched its Culinary Apprenticeship in 2016. That program was the first of its kind certified by the State of California to serve this group. Cooking classes help pay for that work, and every seat booked supports it.

The 2.5 hour cooking class has the team prepare a multi-course tasting menu together. The 3.5 hour Chopped Challenge is a team cook-off that includes lunch or dinner.
