Collaborations

JWU’s active civic participation includes a variety of collaborations with community organizations and local businesses.

ProStart
The ProStart program provides culinary training to high school teachers. Developed by the National Restaurant Association, the program is designed to move teachers away from a more traditional emphasis on “home economics” and instead equip them to prepare students for work in restaurants and food services. Each year, approximately 100 teachers and roughly 400 high school students from all over the state attend ProStart workshops on campus.

North Miami's Parks & Recreation Department
Join! Work! Unite! is an annual celebration of National Public Lands Day in which roughly 500 JWU students, faculty and staff partner with the city of North Miami's Parks & Recreation Department to clean up the city's green spaces.
