New Year, New Opportunities: Student Food Trucks!
Rhode Island students are riding into the new year with an exciting new opportunity. Recently, RIDE launched the
$1.625 Million Menu for Success Student Food Truck Initiative
Through the grant program, 13 local education agencies will receive funding for a food truck and associated supports that promote entrepreneurship, culinary arts, automotive learning, graphic design, and more.
Made possible by the School Building Authority Capital Fund, the Menu for Success initiative will benefit communities at large by providing internship and job opportunities, concessions at games and work sites, presence at community events, fundraising and community service opportunities and more.
Through industry exposure, Menu for Success aims to open doors for students of color and increase the number of students who graduate with a defined plan for continued success.
