Full program description

At Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD), our mission is to empower the deaf and hard of hearing community through accessible education and personal development opportunities. As part of this commitment, we offer a specialized program, CSD Learns, focused on providing diverse learning experiences tailored to the unique needs of individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Teaching Kitchen 202 (TK202), an integral part of our CSD Program Impact division, embodies our objectives by offering comprehensive culinary education and training. Led by experienced instructors, TK202 provides accessible culinary education, practical training in a restaurant environment, and thorough preparation for competitive careers in the culinary arts and food industry. Through this initiative, deaf and hard of hearing individuals gain hands-on experience, develop essential culinary skills, and cultivate the confidence needed to excel in the dynamic culinary industry. TK202 serves as a testament to our commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that deaf and hard of hearing individuals have equal opportunities to pursue their passion for food and achieve success in the culinary arts.
