COMMUNITY
The School is engaged in many community-wide
events as a way to serve the broader immigrant
communities in the city and to foster stronger
partnerships. During the 2014-15 school year we
hosted our first Health and Wellness Fair in partnership
with DC United. Additionally, the school participated
in the citywide TamalFest with chef instructors serving
as planning committee members and providing
food safety trainings. A team of Culinary Arts Career
Training students competed and won first place for
best display. Culinary arts students also participated in
a language access fundraising event providing cooking
demonstrations and tasting samples for attendees.
Throughout the year we hosted various national and
international groups interested in learning more about our
educational model. Serving the larger community, the school
also hosted citywide healthcare sign up events and legal
clinics, which brought highly trained, knowledgeable lawyers
in to answer immigration questions.
