Culinary Arts Training Program
& La Cocina Catering

Two unique social enterprise initiatives of the Chrysalis Center, which provide hands-on job training skills for individuals who desire employment in the culinary arts and hospitality fields.  Chrysalis Center’s catering program provides delicious foods with a socially conscious mission.  The program utilizes fresh produce grown in Urban Roots and our gardens, teaching clients how to prepare a variety of foods for the community. Both programs generate funds for the organization while offering real-life experience for individuals who may otherwise not have the opportunity to train in a commercial kitchen.  La Cocina is the onsite catering for the TCC.
