In a city with so many amazing places to eat and so many flavors to try, it can be difficult to remember that restaurants also have the power to create social change. Purpose-driven restaurants can offer eaters ways to engage in their communities beyond food, climate, and agricultural missions. Restaurants like Café Reconcile in New Orleans, LA are taking up pivotal roles in their communities by boosting opportunities for at-risk youth. To empower and support the rising generation in a city in which one in five adolescents are not working or enrolled in school, Café Reconcile equips at-risk youth with culinary, hospitality, employment, and life skills through specialized training. And the 12-week program’s focus on emotional strength and resilience prepares participants to be assertive and innovative leaders, who are essential for creating solutions in the global food system and economic climate. Food Tank is highlighting 23 restaurants worldwide providing opportunities and support for the next generation in the food and hospitality industry and beyond: AspenPointe Cafe, Café Hope, Café Momentum, Café Reconcile, Community Kitchen Pittsburgh, Curt’s Café, Darcy Street Project, Eighteen Chefs, Gastronomía Solidaria, Inspiration Kitchens, Kaima Organic Farm, KOTO, Liberty’s Kitchen, Monkey Business Café, Old Skool Cafe, OzHarvest, Pho, Rancho Cielo, Shambala, Stone Soup, STREAT, Tender Greens, and Waterhouse Restaurant.
