Detroit Food Academy fosters learning, connection, and leadership through culinary arts and entrepreneurial education. With an $11,000 grant from the Relentless Care Foundation, DFA will expand staff capacity and extend the impact of their programming, ensuring successful careers are within reach for their participants!
The Relentless Care Foundation's grant will support offerings like the Afterschool Leadership Program, which provides weekly cooking classes to youth at schools and community centers, and the Advanced Afterschool Leadership Program, where 20-25 students who have excelled in the culinary arts gain practical career skills, financial literacy and food industry entrepreneurship training at the Academy's Small Batch kitchen.
"We have a lot of amazing partnerships we've developed throughout the years with local food businesses," said Kiki Louya, Executive Director of Detroit Food Academy, "and thanks to the Relentless Care Foundation, we can magnify those partnerships and improve upon our workforce development pipeline."
