The Cookie Cart 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. The evaluation plan required Cookie Cart participants to complete a self-administered survey, and their parents to complete a telephone survey describing experiences at Cookie Cart and opinions about the value of the Cookie Cart employment experience.This is the full report.
