Liberty’s Kitchen

Liberty’s Kitchen provides a path to self-sufficiency for opportunity youth in New Orleans through food service-based training and education. Its holistic and rigorous approach provides participants with occupational and employability skills training while also addressing the myriad issues that have created barriers to their employment. Youth receive training and support in the Emeril Lagasse Foundation Teaching Kitchen at Liberty’s Café and in the Emeril Lagasse Foundation Learning Lab in the Liberty’s Kitchen Youth Leadership Center.
