Future Chefs prepares teens for successful life and work after high school. We are a youth development organization using culinary education as a medium to equip our students with a full range of skills. At Future Chefs, students engage in social/emotional learning as they prepare to enter the workforce with competence, confidence, and the ambition to plan and strive for their future. In 2008, Toni Elka founded Future Chefs with the belief that society has a collective obligation to prepare young people to find employment and lead productive, fulfilling, engaged lives. Since then, Future Chefs has been disrupting the cycle of intergenerational poverty by giving young people access to quality employment so they can support themselves in a meaningful way. Future Chefs offers the School to Career Program, engaging students in a sequence of three phases, each with an explicit purpose, to deepen and broaden their culinary skills and support them in developing their social/emotional skills. All three phases are designed to bring out the best in students and nourish a culture of high expectations and achievement. Future Chefs' participants come from families in the lower 1/3 of income distribution, and are at risk of leaving high school without a plan or adequate support. They must also exhibit at least two of the following additional risk factors for disconnection: (1) youth of color, (2) first generation American, (3) moderate to poor academic performance, (4) no family members who have attended college, or (5) single parent household.

Freedom House envisions a future where all students achieve at high levels and as successful adults contribute to their community. We believe that income inequality creates both opportunity inequality and outcome inequality. A quality education is essential to both an individual's career aspirations and financial well-being, and a community's overall health and vitality. Freedom House is therefore committed to the objective of improving outcomes for Boston's residents across the education pipeline and increasing the 2 and 4 year college graduation rate for low income, minority and first generation college students. Freedom House offers high-quality educational programs which help students thrive, create, explore, challenge and grow! Freedom House created the Preparing Urban Students for Success in High School and Higher Education (PUSH) program to increase life-time earnings of young people, thereby reducing poverty, and to create 21st century skills for employability.
