Encouraging the best in ourselves, our neighbors, our community.
Educate
Our tuition free culinary and life skills training program provides the proper foundation, training, and opportunity to achieve.
Empower
Our culinary pathway program was developed to act as the catalyst for individuals in the community to build a better life for themselves, providing a path out of poverty.
Employ
Demand for food service personnel has increased providing opportunities for work in a variety of settings including restaurants, hospitals, hotels, schools and catering.
Our Program
Roberti Culinary Pathway is located in an economically distressed neighborhood of south Waukegan where the current poverty level is over 32%. Just a couple blocks to the south, the poverty level climbs to 45%. We give struggling individuals who live in this community the skills needed to enter the foodservice workforce. Our program provides hands-on culinary training by a professional chef and includes food preparation, sanitation, kitchen communication skills, and proper use of equipment.
Impact
The students, the industry, and the community all benefit from the Roberti Culinary Pathway.

“I want to come back and help after I graduate. I’m able to be here because this program is free, so I want to give back. That would be great.” – Patrick, Class 3
