Please join us as we proudly celebrate the incredible achievements of Jose, Alexandra, Kiesha, and Juan for successfully completing the Culinary Arts Program at the Brundage Lane Navigation Center (BLNC)!
Over the past 10 weeks, these dedicated graduates committed themselves to a rigorous 120-hour culinary training program, demonstrating perseverance, determination, and a passion for learning. Through hard work and resilience, they mastered new skills, overcame challenges, and stayed the course all the way to graduation.
This accomplishment represents more than just completing a program—it symbolizes growth, opportunity, and the courage to invest in a brighter future. We are incredibly proud of each graduate and all they have achieved.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the many individuals and partners who helped make this program possible. Thank you to Mayor Karen Goh, Councilman Andrae Gonzalez, Kole Quezada, representing Congressman David Valadao, our outstanding culinary instructors, dedicated staff, board members and community supporters who have encouraged and invested in our guests every step of the way.
Your support helps create opportunities that empower individuals to gain valuable skills, build confidence, and move toward self-sufficiency.
