Our Programs
One Table Together hosts family-style meal gatherings for diverse groups of high school and middle school students, creating safe environments for open discussions facilitated by trained professionals.
What we do
Each program is tailored to the unique needs of the school, developed in collaboration with administrators, teachers, and counselors. The goal is to break down barriers, dispel negative stereotypes, and foster a more harmonious school climate.
Program Structure
Students participate in family-style dinners featuring international cuisine, prepared by ProStart and culinary students under the supervision of food industry professionals. Discussions focus on understanding diverse experiences and challenging biases.
Follow-Up
Within weeks of each dinner, we host a school-wide assembly where students, facilitators, and guest speakers share insights and findings. Follow-up materials are provided to teachers to encourage in-class discussions.
Community Engagement
At the district level, we organize community-wide gatherings to introduce the program to government officials, religious and business leaders, and community organizations, with approximately 300 attendees expected.
School Programs and Student Stories
Highland High School
Highland High School was selected for its diverse student body. The event was a success, with positive feedback from students, facilitators, and administrators.
West High School
Students walked away with a powerful realization: discrimination often thrives not from open hatred, but from the “comfortable silence” of staying within our own circles.
