What if you could give deserving young adults, just like Devonte, the opportunity to fulfill their dream of becoming a chef? By supporting the Arc Culinary Expansion Project, you are doing just that. Expected to open in April 2019, the project includes the build-out and equipping of approximately 8,000 square feet on the Arc Broward Regional Campus. The space features a commercial and catering kitchen, teaching kitchen, classrooms, cooking and preparation areas, storage, and advanced technology.
The Arc Culinary Expansion will be home to both the Arc Educates Entry-Level Culinary Arts Certificate program and our social enterprise, Arc Culinary. The Entry Level Culinary Arts Certificate program provides students with a variety of essential skills needed in order to succeed in a professional kitchen. With hands-on learning through Arc Culinary's successful catering business, students gain the necessary experience to enter the food service industry. Students are also dually-enrolled in Arc Works, providing employment supports to find a job, establish financial stability, and ultimately increase self-sufficiency.
Your support in this endeavor provides an important return to the community at large, Arc Broward and the many individuals and families that will advance their lives and have a chance at realizing their hope of the dignity and financial rewards that accompany meaningful education and employment.
Thanks to the generosity of the Mary N. Porter Legacy Fund at the Community Foundation of Broward, your support may be matched as well. Here are ways you can leave a lasting legacy with us.
