WHY CHOOSE CHEF ANGELS
Improving Lives In & Out of the Kitchen
Our Chef Angels instructors have been recruited from within the large pool, yet tight-knit, San Diego chef community. Those who have participated in our programs have found us through our existing network of chefs, sponsors and collaborators. Many are inspired to join due to the often similar shared lived experiences to our students, which makes the program experience all that more powerful to all involved. Many of the instructors themselves have found success in their careers and are now seeking opportunities to give back to the community and support the next generation. As a busy, professional chef all that is required is an easy lesson plan and groceries, we take care of the rest; location, equipment, expense reimbursements, catering supplies, invitations, social media…
At Chef Angels, we not only embrace diversity and inclusivity, it very much forms the foundation of our work – reflected in our roster of volunteer chef instructors and leaders, as much as in our San Diego community of chefs. Please reach out to us if you would like to participate or learn more about our program.
