Positive Vibe Foundation

The Positive Vibe Foundation and Café provide hands-on training and meaningful employment in food services to individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. See the CBS video about the organization here: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=698218n

About half of our employees come directly out of our training program. Many others are unpaid volunteers and are dedicated to assisting an organization that believes in the bright futures of all persons. Since 2004, Positive Vibe has trained over 700 students, all with scholarships. We rely on donations to help pay for the training opportunities.

 

Training for Accomplishment

The training program aims to prepare students for the work world and includes basic food service skills; is hands-on, builds self-confidence and readies students for real world employment. Graduates of our training program also acquire skills in cleaning and sanitizing, proper use of kitchen utensils, food safety, commercial dish washing, communication in a work place, interviewing, and job seeking. The program typically lasts four weeks and culminates with a graduation ceremony. Each graduate, in the end, is prepared for job seeking, interviewing and working in the food service industry.
