The Enterprising Kitchen

The Enterprising Kitchen is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, dedicated to providing employment and life skills training to women striving for self-sufficiency and independence. By combining small business operations with experiential job training, the organization supports chronically unemployed women, many of whom face challenges such as substance abuse and homelessness.

One notable employee, Barbara James, exemplifies the transformative impact of the program, having overcome personal struggles to become a mentor for new participants. Her journey reflects the organization's philosophy that profound personal growth is achievable regardless of age or difficult life circumstances.
