2023 Chefs’ Dinner for Second Chances

Encina | Sunday, April 30, 2023
VIP Cocktail Hour 5:30 p.m. | Dinner 6:30 p.m.

Chef Matt Balke of Encina will lead the culinary efforts alongside a line-up of local culinary stars (to be announced soon) and Youth With Faces Culinary Program Manager, Chef Alexis Baker. This team of talented chefs will combine fresh, local ingredients to create their favorite recipes, while working with and training Youth With Faces student interns. 

As a sponsor of the April 30 event, you and your guests will enjoy a VIP cocktail hour followed by a seated dinner. Your investment will fuel Youth With Faces’ vocational and job skills programs that are designed to help juveniles gain the foundational skills needed to be capable, contributing members of the community. The Youth With Faces Culinary Arts & Hospitality program is a cornerstone of how we help youth create more positive futures, and not surprisingly, it is the most popular programs with students.
