Renaissance West Community Initiative operates the Community Culinary School of Charlotte, a private nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that provides training and job-search assistance in the food service industry for people who have experienced barriers to employment. The program is designed to help unemployed or underemployed adults gain career and personal-life skills, supporting their transition into the food service workforce. It also pursues hunger-relief objectives by recycling nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste, making meals available to the community when possible. In pursuing these aims, CCSC emphasizes respect for participants' talents, service-based learning, ongoing support, and the development of self-esteem and confidence.
