Community Kitchen Pittsburgh uses food as the foundation to change lives and strengthen communities by providing culinary training and opening career pathways to individuals who experience barriers to employment. CKP operates out of the idea that every person who comes through our doors is inherently worthy and has the potential to reach and exceed their goals, regardless of their past. We offer t

raining programs, transitional employment opportunities, apprenticeships, and job placement services that are designed to meet participants where they are and connect them with stable, higher-than-entry-level positions in culinary or adjacent industries that lead to wage progression and professional advancement. Since 2014, over 500 students have graduated from CKP, 95% of whom are employed within 30 days. Our graduates are now powering the back of the house in restaurants and professional kitchens throughout Pittsburgh and beyond. We're also a proud member of the Catalyst Kitchens Network.
