Each step in the program is designed to:

Our Progress
The Center of Culinary Cultivation (CCC)
Sow Project’s training program stems from the work of The Center of Culinary Cultivation (CCC). The mission of the CCC is to empower young people to become catalysts for change in their communities. By improving the health of individuals and the food system we are creating a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
At the heart of our collective is a deep commitment to nurturing and cultivating talent. We believe in equipping them with professional culinary skills, not just for their personal growth but also to contribute to the health and wellness of their own communities. Our focus is on sustainable, locally sourced food products and teaching healthy ingredient selection.
