Mission: How We Show Up  

The Kind Kitchen Group is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses culinary education and socio-emotional learning to impact young people's foundational belief systems that determine outcomes across health, education, and wellbeing during the years when identity is most fluid. We utilize culinary education as the medium, not the message, to cultivate nourishment autonomy in every person we impact. 

Vision: The Future We’re Building  

We see a world where food meets purpose (tagline) through reducing all barriers to nourishment. We use food as a tool to develop identity because it's immediate, tangible, cultural, and deeply personal. It lets us meet young people where they are and help them begin the discovery of who they are by intervening at the identity level.
