Roosevelt Culinary Arts's mission is to empower students through holistic food education that nourishes ourselves, our communities, and our Earth.
Roosevelt Culinary Arts is a series of three elective classes offered at Roosevelt High School, in South Minneapolis, MN. The classes are open to all students. Many aspire to jobs in food-related industries, while many others aspire simply to being life long home chefs.
Roosevelt Culinary Arts students engage in service learning opportunities in a myriad of ways, including the following:
Community Meals: three times a year, we open the doors of Roosevelt to share a meal with the greater community. In the fall, it is a harvest meal that focuses on Indigous Cuisine. In the winter, it is a soup supper and Empty Bowls fundraiser. In the spring, it is our community cookout in which we honor the graduates of our program.
