About Chef Chris Her of Juche

About Urban Roots and the Cook Fresh Program
Urban Roots provides paid internships to youth on the East Side of Saint Paul. Youth interns develop leadership, entrepreneurial, and life skills through our Market Garden, Conservation, and Cook Fresh Programs. Each year, up to 85 youth interns, ages 14-24, participate in our progressive, tiered programming, connecting to one another and the world around them. Cook Fresh interns gain valuable skills in food preparation, safety, and planning while also learning about nutrition, career opportunities, and the cultural importance of food.
