With a mission to use community and opportunity as a pathway to success, PX Project employs the kitchen as its vehicle to achieve the following three goals for our students who are often “in-between” school and work. For many, their families depend on them financially, yet they are not workforce-trained or able to continue their schooling.
- Employability skills taught in a culinary environment
- Social and emotional health
- Career and life readiness
PX — Personnes Extraordinaire
In the restaurant industry the term PX is used to describe VIP patrons—extraordinary people meant to be shown extra care. We believe that all of the young people in our community, regardless of circumstances, are extraordinary people. It is our mission to harness their gifts and talents and provide the resources that will guide them to the futures which they deserve.
Did you know…?
The population of Houston “in–between youth” represents 14.2% of young people ages 16 to 24 in the area. Nearly one in seven young adults in the Houston area is neither working nor in school.
People learn by doing. This is the idea at the heart of PX Project. This experiential learning environment is combined with life and work readiness skills, case management, health and nutritional education, and the social capital that will ensure that all students leave PX Project prepared for success in life and in the workplace.
