Create Common Good is a Boise, Idaho-based nonprofit organized as a 501(c)3 that operates as a social enterprise. It provides food service training and job placement support to individuals who face barriers to employment. Participants include refugees, immigrants, survivors of domestic violence, and people with histories of incarceration or addiction who advance through the program. Rather than relying solely on external grants, the organization pursues a self-sustaining model by running a business-to-business food production operation. This approach is designed to be sustainable and replicable, supporting the longer-term impact of its training and placement work. In 2020, Create Common Good received the October Shine A Light award.
