Momentum Advisory Collective

Momentum Advisory is a 501(c)3 organization that partners with community leaders across the United States to launch and manage innovative restaurant and culinary training programs. These programs provide life skills training, education, and employment opportunities to transform the lives of youth exiting juvenile detention facilities.

We got our start with Café Momentum, a nonprofit restaurant and culinary training facility in Dallas, Texas, that has successfully reduced recidivism and increased employability with its programs.

We envision a country where the basic and socioemotional needs of our youth are met; a country that understands that when a child undergoes trauma, they need support, not incarceration; a country whose communities come together to support this vision. We believe that this can be a reality for young people nationwide.

We are building clear pathways out of incarceration so today’s most at-risk youth have access to resources, opportunity and trauma-informed support such that they and their future generations can thrive, not just survive.
