Community is at the heart of Future Chefs – that includes young people like Joren, and supporters like you. We’re more than half way to our $130K goal to secure teens’ wages for the school year, but it’s not enough for a full roster. We need to raise another $50K as we work toward the start of programming on November 2nd, so all of our young people can continue to build their skills, have a supportive community, AND earn a paycheck.

Help make it possible for Joren to stay with us. Join us in reaching our goal to KEEP TEENS PAID this school year, and keep the Future Chefs community thriving.

A paycheck earned at Future Chefs gives teens opportunities – for spending money, for helping out with bills, for saving for the future. And it’s the opportunity to build new skills, find community, and grow into their potential.

Help KEEP TEENS PAID, so young people like Kaisen can continue to invest in their futures.

For Lucia, a paycheck from Future Chefs means financial independence, and a way to help her family when money is tight. It also means hands-on learning, mentorship, and a community invested in more than just her next shift – because her tomorrow matters as much as her today.

Help KEEP TEENS PAID this school year, so young people like Lucia can work toward their futures while showing up for the people they love.

Hot Chef Summer was a hit!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Future Chefs Summer Pop-Up this week! Our young people were on their A-game - firing food, taking orders, packaging meals, passing out samples, welcoming guests, and putting their skills, creativity, and confidence on full display. They were a well-oiled restaurant machine, and we couldn’t be more proud.

None of this would be possible without the Future Chefs community. You showed up and showed out! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, spread the word, placed an order, and cheered on our teens. Your support helps us continue creating meaningful, paid work experiences for Boston youth.

We’re already looking forward to next summer!

You came hungry. We hope you left inspired.

Our Summer Pop-Up is just around the corner! And running this three-day restaurant takes more than just cooking skills. To make this Pop-Up a hit, our teens are using key life skills that will also serve them long after the summer is over.

🍽 Brainstorming dish ideas and designing a cohesive menu SPARKS creativity and critical thinking

🥣Testing and refining recipes SHARPENS problem solving and giving and receiving feedback

🥘Prepping ingredients and firing food on the line STRENGTHENS communication, time management, and team work

☀️Working hard all summer long to put on a great pop-up TAKES perseverance!

You can see our teens’ skills in action at the Summer Pop-Up, August 11, 12, and 13! Check out our website to place a pre-order or view the menu. With every purchase, you’re helping them build the essential skills they’ll need in the kitchen and beyond.

Our young chefs are serving up heat with a Pop-Up menu full of fresh, elevated, and healthier takes on summer favorites.

And this menu wasn’t created overnight. Over the last four weeks, our teens have been brainstorming, taste-testing dishes, and refining recipes - sometimes as many as 6 versions! They challenged themselves to “glow-up” familiar dishes with healthier ingredients and techniques. Swipe to see behind the scenes of the menu development process!

Come and see how their work has gone from text to table on August 11th, 12th, and 13th. Order ahead or walk in. Check out our website to place an order and learn more. Every purchase supports youth jobs, so the learning continues long after summer is over.

The wait is over - the Summer Pop-Up menu is officially live, and so are pre-orders!

Our teens have been working hard brainstorming dishes, testing recipes, and refining the menu to deliver fresh, elevated summer favorites. Treat yourself August 11, 12, and 13 to crispy Pan Fried Dumplings, a crusty, tender Banh Mi, a sweet Banana Pudding Cinnamon Roll, and more – all designed and prepared by our young people.

Every purchase supports paid youth jobs and helps them continue growing long after the last dish is served.

Order ahead or walk in. Check out our website to learn more. https://futurechefs.net/pop-up

It's Hot Chef Summer!

Inspired by Megan Thee Stallion's Hot Girl Summer, our teens are cooking up a Summer Pop-Up menu built on self-love, confidence, and being unapologetically YOU.

Expect fresh, colorful ingredients and elevated takes on summer classics, all designed, tested, and perfected by our young chefs. They're building skills and confidence one dish at a time (and having a blast while doing it!).

Treat yourself to lunch at the Summer Pop-Up - every dish is made and sold by our teens, and every purchase funds youth jobs to keep them building skills long after summer ends.

August 11, 12, and 13. Order ahead or walk in. Menu and pre-order options drop July 31.

It's great to have friends in cool places!

On one of the hottest days this summer so far, JonnyPops showed up with a stash of ice pops for our teens at Future Chefs! JonnyPops has kindness in their mission, and it really shows. And their pops, "stacked with flavor," were a huge hit. Everyone was all smiles (and a little sticky) as they took a break from the kitchen to cool off. Thank you, JonnyPops, for the sweet surprise and for being a true friend to our program!
