Our free and State-certified apprenticeship program provides hands-on skills training to historically underrepresented communities with the goal of securing permanent jobs and earning livable wages towards the end of the program, and ultimately, help them build self-sufficiency.
Join us in welcoming this year's brilliant cohort:

#ICYMI We are so thrilled to have partners, friends and community members join us for our program luncheon last month to celebrate our first cohort of graduates for completing our 10-week culinary apprenticeship program, Lifeline Culinary On The Job Training.
This would not have been possible without our generous friends from @livelafamilia @schnitzernecareers and @abifoundry. Thank you!
We are so proud of this work. But we are just getting started. Removing barriers to economic opportunities will take all of us. We hope you'll join us.
Help scale our impact. See link in bio.

It's been a busy month at Black Owned Project 365. Early this month, we welcomed our first cohort for the Lifeline Culinary On The Job Training (LCOJT) Program.
In partnership with @livelafamilia and Culinary Instructor Chef Sharon Lee, our program participants are learning basic knife skills. This week, our cohort also met with Chef Michelle McQueen to learn about her professional journey.
This would not have been possible without the generosity of our partners and friends like yourself. We hope we can continue to count on you as we seek to scale our impact and make a difference in the lives of many more individuals.

#ICYMI: Last month, we proudly celebrated the graduates of our Lifeline Culinary On-The-Job Training (LCOJT) Program—an afternoon filled with skill, joy, laughter, and community pride.
Our graduates presented their culinary journeys, showcased what they’ve learned over the past 10 weeks, and received special awards recognizing their leadership, growth, and excellence. From heartfelt reflections to light-hearted moments, the celebration captured everything this program stands for.
We’re deeply grateful to our community partners who showed up and made this work possible: Black Cultural Zone, Kaiser Permanente, San Francisco Foundation, Port of Oakland, and the Golden State Warriors.
Huge appreciation as well to our incredible restaurant partners—Home of Chicken and Waffles, Town Fare, and Lucy Blue—for opening your kitchens, mentoring our cohort, and being hands-on partners throughout the entire training.
Congratulations to our graduates—we’re so proud of you and excited for what’s next! 👩🏽‍🍳👨🏾‍🍳🎓

#HappyNewYear We begin 2026 with hope and gratitude. We reflect on the impact we've made together with friends like all of you--and this work would not have been possible without your support.
Here are some highlights from the past year:
âś… As part of commitment to volunteerism, we joined @the_homeofchickenandwaffles and @thecityeats for our annual holiday food distribution
âś… Our LCOJT program participants and our friends at @blackculturalzone were honored at the @warriors "Town Night," recognizing the groundbreaking work we do in Oakland.
âś… We launched our third cohort of aspiring chefs with our restaurant hosts at @the_homeofchickenandwaffles and @town_fare.
âś… Along with @angelayee's @coffeeupliftsepeople, we co-hosted Shonda Scott, CEO of 360 Total Concept, for her nationwide book tour "Give Me A Year," as part of our commitment to amplify the voices of Black women entrepreneurs
âś… We organized a day long event "BCZ Cares" to provide mentorship for trans women, women of color and aspiring hairstylists
âś… We joined a coalition of CA nonprofits to advocate for an equitable state budget that funds programs, serving as a lifeline for struggling Californians

As we close out the year, we are grateful to our generous friends and partners, like @blackculturalzone @kaiserpermanente @sanfranciscofoundation @athletics @warriors and the People's Life Fund, that make this work possible at a time of great uncertainty.
Together, we are closing the racial wealth gap by providing pathways towards employment and long-term sustainability for the Bay Area's underserved communities.
With your support, we can impact more lives in 2026.

The holidays aren’t easy for everyone and that’s exactly why we do this.
This Christmas Day, we’re opening our doors for a Christmas Brunch rooted in generosity, warmth, and connection.
The moments you see here are just a small glimpse from last year; every year looks a little different, but the heart is always the same. From nourishing meals to toys, blankets, clothes, and backpacks, we’re here to care for one another and make room for everyone.
If you’re feeling stretched, struggling, or simply need a place to land this holiday, come join us.
Grab a plate. Stay awhile. You belong here.

We are halfway through this year's Lifeline Culinary On The Job (LCOJT) program cohort. The last few weeks have been nothing short of impactful.
We are so proud of our incredible LCOJT apprentices--and we salute them for their hardwork, resilience and determination.
We cannot wait to see them to the finish line--and with your support, we can build a more robust workforce by investing in more opportunities for folks from historically underrepresented communities.
We hope you'll consider making a contribution today: www.blackownedproject365.org

As part of our #bhm #supportblackbusiness spotlight series, each week we will be sharing our partial list of Black businesses.
We hope you’ll join us in supporting them. Small businesses are vital to the survival of our neighborhoods and communities and revitalizing local economies will take all of us coming together.
Are you (or someone you know) a Black entrepreneur and would love a shoutout on social media? DM us!

As we mark the beginning of #BHM, we reiterate our commitment to building a more just and equitable future, where Black and brown communities equally reap the benefits of our economy.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They employ workers. They build spaces for us to convene. They reinvest in the same communities that support them. And yet far too often they also have to bear the brunt of our inequitable business landscape: from lacking access to capital to dealing with increasing costs of rent and bureaucratic permitting and licensing processes.
Since the pandemic, many of the same businesses have struggled to stay afloat. Despite this, we know the future is bright. We have a lot of work to do. We hope you’ll join us.
