Who We Are

Celebrating our 20th Anniversary, Old Skool Cafe (OSC) provides life-changing support and opportunities for San Francisco’s most vulnerable youth. We train and employ at-risk youth, ages 16-22, to run all aspects of our supper club. Learning to be hosts, servers, cooks, and entertainers, we offer youth a solution for addressing their basic needs and break the cycle of poverty and incarceration. Our faith-based model provides a supportive environment to help youth maintain employment and be successful in all aspects of their lives. More than just a place for a fresh start, OSC is an anchor upon which their futures can thrive.

Our Culture and Values

Transformation is not a straight line. We know that change doesn’t happen overnight. We strive to maintain a culture where mistakes and failures are expected as part of the journey towards growth and transformation. We believe in second chances and learning from our mistakes.

OSC is a youth-run supper club. The youth are empowered to do the work of running the restaurant as adult mentors coach from the side. Adult staff actively seek out ways to empower our youth to push past their comfort zones, helping them grow in confidence and leadership.

We call out the gold in people. We look for the good, assume positive intent, and call out the best in one another.

We make lemonade out of lemons. We look for the good that we can find (or squeeze) out of every challenging situation, with a positive mindset. We look for the opportunity to learn and grow, rather than complain about what’s wrong.

Family starts with “yes” and “we.” There are no silos of work at Old Skool Cafe. “We” pull together as a team to find solutions and support each other to get the job done. We start with a spirit of “yes” to move mission-critical initiatives and projects forward.

We do the right thing. We understand that we are role models for our youth and our words and behavior carry weight that impacts others. Integrity is paramount as we work with excellence and honesty.
