About STREETS International

Founded in 2009 and based in Hoi An, Vietnam, STREETS is a comprehensive and fully-supported 15-month culinary and hospitality training program. Disadvantaged and vulnerable youth living in poverty are chosen to participate in this no-cost program.

Each Trainee participant is provided classroom instruction with hands-on experience in the culinary arts and/or hospitality services, nutritious meals, supervised housing, clothing, uniforms, an active community, monthly allowance, and basic medical care.

STREETS recognizes the important role that tourism plays in developing economies. It is often one of the first and largest sectors to experience growth and expansion.

STREETS provides impoverished youth with professional level training and apprenticing, including English language and life skills, for careers in culinary arts and hospitality service. Our program responds to the growing resource demands of the hospitality sector in Vietnam and beyond.

STREETS is an actual social enterprise - integrating both business and philanthropy. We significantly support the program through our multiple culinary enterprises.
