There’s a bigger story behind every plate at EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant ✨🍴

For six months, our students learn the ins and outs of the hospitality industry through hands on training in the front and back of house.

But the best part is watching everything that happens along the way. It’s the first day in uniform, the busy services, the new friendships, watching confidence build and graduation day.

❤️ We’re proud of every student who has made this journey and grateful that we get to celebrate the moments along the way.

This is what second chances look like. ❤️✨
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build a life beyond their past. Every day, our students, graduates staff and community show us what’s possible when education, opportunity and support come together.

🙌 Share this with someone who believes in second chances.

We’re Stirring Up Hope every Wednesday ❤️

EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant is built on the belief that everyone deserves a second chance.

As the #1 educator in American prisons, EDWINS has provided food safety, front-of-house, and hospitality education to more than 70,000 incarcerated individuals.

Founded by Chef Brandon Chrostowski, we provide formerly incarcerated individuals with six months of tuition-free culinary and hospitality training in fine dining, baking, butchery and the Oyster Bar. Along with the support needed to build a career and a life beyond the program with housing, daycare, a fitness center, farm and library.

We do not accept state or federal funding. This work is made possible through the dedication of our team and the generosity of individuals who believe in the mission.

Every meal, every hour volunteered, and every contribution helps create a path toward a better future.
