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.
Students at Rebel Ventures develop and create new products, participate in professional business meetings, sample products at schools and local grocery stores, and gain experience in an area of their interest such as communications, culinary, sales, graphic design and cinematography. 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.
