Ybor - A Second Chance Kitchen

Our favorite month has arrived! Love and

Meet Louvell.

Louvell was part of Ybor’s first Culinary class at SCC and then continued into our Pre-Apprenticeship program to keep building his skills in a real kitchen.

After finishing his Pre-Apprenticeship Louvell was hired at . We reached out to HF Crave to ask if they would consider becoming part of Ybor’s Department of Labor Apprenticeship program so Louvell could continue his training there, and they were all in.

Louvell has worked hard for this opportunity, and HF Crave has done exactly what we hope for in an employment partner. They have trained him, supported him, and given him room to keep developing in a real restaurant environment.

Ybor's future home!!!

These renderings by Carlson Projects INC. show the dining room we are building. A space where meals will be shared and lives will be changed through culinary education, hands-on training, and careers that help people see a new future for themselves.

For Give to Lincoln Day, we are inviting a small group of founding sponsors to help furnish this room.

Each sponsored table, chair, bar stool, and bench seat will help bring Ybor’s dining room to life. Sponsors will be recognized within the space with a permanent acknowledgment on their sponsored piece, honoring their role in helping build Ybor from the beginning.

Table Sponsor — $1,000 (8 of 12 available)
Chair Sponsor — $750 (11 of 12 available)
Bar Stool Sponsor — $500 (11 of 16 available)
Bench Seating Sponsor — $250 (21 of 30 available)

Once these sponsorships are filled, they are gone.

If you’ve wanted to be part of building Ybor, this is one of the most tangible and lasting ways to do it.
