Café & Bakery

"My name is Valmon. I like to bake & decorate cakes. My favorite things to make are vegan bites and brownies to perfection. I also learned about different cuisines. The most important thing I learned from My Brother’s Workshop is a good work ethic, how to be responsible and how to communicate better. I also learned how to cope with situations in an intellectual way that I did not know how to do before. I love the Café for its environment and employees."

"I am a trainee at MBW Café & Bakery where I have learned a great deal. I have learned that hard work pays off for a better present and future. This program helps me to learn how to become a man. It teaches me new things to prepare myself for the next level. My Brother’s Workshop also taught me how to become a better person by asking questions, helping out, taking initiative, proper communication and socialization skills. MBW gives me great work experience to build my resume’ and have a good name and record. It is a great highlight for me."

"Working at My Brother’s Workshop Café and Bakery has been a great experience because people there show you how to handle yourself when you go out to find a job. At the café they teach baking, making sandwiches and cooking. There are also counselors at My Brother’s Workshop. If someone is need of counseling the school has a counselor to help them out. You can go to school and work at the same time as receiving training. Someone’s always there to help you if you need help. I'm looking forward to having my high school diploma. With my high school diploma, I’ll be able to get a better job."

"MBW has made me a better person. Without this program, I wouldn't have a good sense of responsibility and a good work ethic. I wake up early in the morning, I have to work, and as soon as I finish, I come and do my schooling, which is excellent. It took a lot of hard work and dedication. I feel good about myself and I'm proud."

"My hobbies are taking care of others, spending time with the family,and hanging with my friends. At the age of 16, I was looking for a place to work to stay out of trouble and an employee of MBW introduced me to My Brothers Workshop. At MBW, I was trained to cook, cash customers out and to bake goods. MBW was my first job and I’m happy that it taught me punctuality, patience and respect. My favorite position at MBW was the LINE which is in the kitchen. I would sometimes work along side Julius the Chef Jackson where he would show me techniques and ways to get food out to the customers fast. When I graduate from MBW, I’m going to move to the state of Florida and attended the Florida Memorial University where I’m going to be studying to become a Trauma Surgeon."
