Founded by a former juvenile corrections officer who felt the system did not provide enough supports to help troubled youth turn their lives around, Old Skool Café provides education and training to at-risk, urban youth aged 16-22. The four-month program provides paid apprenticeships to youth at a 1940’s styled supper club, where participants gain marketable employment skills as hosts, servers, chefs, and entertainers. The enterprise also collaborates with other community organizations, businesses, and churches to provide youth with a web of support to ensure their success.
