Our weekly cooking class is so much fun! It’s also a great way for participants to practice and learn how to use a knife, follow a recipe, buy ingredients, use a stove, and overall kitchen safety. This week we made Chicken bowls! #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit #developmentaldisabilities #cooking #cookingclass #lifeskills #autismawareness #autismacceptance #education

Meet some of our amazing team at the bakery, Ryan and Emmanuel! Did you know that we are not just a café but actually a social enterprise? Mychal’s Café is a part of Mychal’s Learning Place, a nonprofit that teaches young adults with developmental disabilities life skills and job skills. Our café, bakery and print shop were created to help provide job training and employment. Through our program and enterprises we are able to find jobs in the community for our participants as well as provide employment opportunities at our social enterprises. #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #socialenterprise #socialenterprises #developmentaldisabilities #cafe #café #bakery #autism #autismawareness #inclusivity #positivity #disabilityemployment #bakedgoods #goodeats #foodie #losangelesfood #lafood #losangeles #redondobeach #redondo
