try pie meets cookie cart

Try Pie is busy looking back at its first 3 semesters of existence and looking ahead on how to build on its vision, values, and strengths.  Some of the team drove to Minneapolis yesterday to tour a social enterprise that's been building and growing since 1988.  The Cookie Cart employs up to 200 teens, 15-18 years old, and they specialize in teaching students jobs skills, financial literacy, and excellent customer service.  We had a great tour led by DeMarquez, a sixteen year old who just graduated from the program, and Hayat and Cynthia, who were newer to the program and were learning tour-giving skills from DeMarquez.  We also had a lot of Q and A, and of course, we sampled their yummy cookies.  Baking bright futures!  Thanks, Cookie Cart, for your inspiration and dedication to teens! Check out their program here.
