Our History

Rebekah Children’s Services recognized the need for vocational education programs for transition-age youth, and in 2009, we launched Rebekah’s Culinary Academy. The Academy offers hands-on job training in the culinary and hospitality industries, allowing students to learn in a professional kitchen environment under the mentorship of credentialed chefs.

In addition to culinary skills, students develop job-readiness skills, including teamwork, communication, and responsibility, in a safe, structured environment. These skills help prepare students for the demands of adulthood, independent living, and the workforce, all while fostering a sense of purpose and connection to their community.
