Emerging culinary after-school program

Empower Portland urban youth to graduate high school with job skills and improved eating habits garnered via a free comprehensive culinary after-school program.

Together we can make history. How will you help #OPENThePDXkitchen?

The Portland Kitchen needs donors, sponsors, equipment and community support to open the first kitchen in NE Portland.
