Detroit Food-Entrepreneurship

Detroit Food Academy (DFA) envisions a future where youth are empowered to lead and co-create Detroit's food system through culinary arts and entrepreneurship. By utilizing the universal power of food, DFA fosters community among peers and caring adult mentors, providing safe spaces for students to express their creativity and learn essential life skills.

Through various programs, including afterschool and summer leadership initiatives, DFA engages middle and high school students in hands-on cooking, field trips, and mentorship from local food entrepreneurs. The Advanced Leadership Program further equips a select cohort with culinary techniques and business skills, ensuring the next generation of food leaders is well-prepared to thrive.
