About lunch

Lunch is served buffet style each class day of the in-person courses. We are not able to accommodate special dietary needs. If you have allergies, restrictions, or anything else you can't eat from a buffet, plan to pack your own lunch — you're welcome to eat it with the class.

No fee · No obligation · We don't sell your information

Still deciding?

Pick "not sure yet" on the form. We'll walk through what each track leads to and what the work actually looks like before you commit to one.

Not eligible for the grant?

Apply anyway. Grant funding rules change, we run more than one funding source, and we'd rather look at your situation than have you rule yourself out.

Centers, employers & case managers

Host the program at your site.

We bring the instructors, the curriculum, the equipment and lunch. Your organization pays nothing and the people in your care pay nothing. You provide a room and a schedule.
