The Cookie Cart

An evaluation of an innovative youth employment program
July 2009: Thalia Cooper, Greg Owen, Karen Ulstad

The Cookie Cart is a nonprofit employment program that serves youth living in or near North Minneapolis. The organization offers young people age 14 to 17 an opportunity to develop life, leadership, and job skills through training and employment at a retail and commercial bakery. The business model provides a first paid job experience for youth, and helps participants gain the job and life skills necessary to transition to traditional employment in the community. This report presents the results of an evaluation about the value of the Cookie Cart employment experience.
