The Skills Trade Development Program initiative is not merely a program; it's a beacon of hope and empowerment for justice-affected youth in challenging urban environments. By combining a tailored approach, diverse partnerships, and a comprehensive continuum of support, it offers these young individuals an opportunity to break free from cycles of incarceration and embark on a path toward stable and meaningful employment, personal growth, and a brighter future. The feedkids+ team provided food literacy programming, cooking instruction, recipes and food support to feed these healthy bodies on their journey.
