A NEW BEGINNING

With your support, Other Side Ministries is prepared to improve tomorrow’s odds by making a difference today.
On April 11th 2019 we began our inaugural class of “A New Beginning”. Over each 8 week course we provide each student a food handler’s card, teach knife skills and how to work at each station in a professional kitchen. The students learn hands on how to read and scale recipes and become familiar with all professional equipment in a kitchen such as broilers, grills, deep fryers and convection ovens. The students participate in catering for fundraisers and a graduation event to gain real world experience. Each student learns culinary language and professionalism so they may enter the workforce prepared to work in a fast paced kitchen. Our students are provided interview skills then with the support of our community partner Local First Arizona they attend a resume writing class.
