Become A Rebel!

Rebel Ventures is a youth-powered nonprofit food business based in West Philadelphia, creating healthy and delicious food for youth in our community. We work to increase access to nutritious and tasty food for children, and also to engage high school students in meaningful job experiences. High school students run the operations of the organization and make the products for the students we serve.

The crew works in a commercial kitchen, virtually, and in office spaces and in schools when possible. With the support of college and adult mentors, the Rebel Crew works together to run the business successfully and make an impact on the community.
