World-renowned Chef Gerry Garvin has developed and crafted one of the world's most unique mentoring programs, entitled Chef G. Garvin's Culinary Boot Camp. This exciting initiative focuses on transforming inner city youth into successful corporate and community leaders in the hospitality industry.

Slicing, dicing and learning to prepare meals that are enticing will all be part of the menu, as inner city youth are put on the chopping block to learn to cook in five days. Specifically, inner city youth and young adults that enlist in Chef G. Garvin’s Culinary Boot Camp will: Be empowered to learn about the fine art of cooking and culinary arts and services Be empowered to embrace the multiple aspects of the hospitality industry including management services Explore new talents and abilities Arouse the senses to design and develop palatable delights Experience the joys of ownership in creating new and innovative delicacies to inspire healthy living and wholesome development of food for the soul

Chef Garvin and his team are committed to developing key learning tools and products to help empower the youth of various cities throughout the United States to get involved in the project, and begin implementing smart hospitality industry career choices for their lives.

The founding sponsor, Anheuser-Busch, Inc., as well as Ebony Magazine, have already come on board to help make Chef G. Garvin’s Culinary Boot Camp a successful reality. We would like to enlist your corporation’s support as well. Together, we can cook up a recipe for success and help inner city youth (with the right ingredients) to pursue a dream of endless possibilities!
