Scarf

The Problem

Scarf provides marginalised youth with hospitality knowledge, skills and experience in an encouraging space where individuality is seen as an asset.

Scarf also helps to foster social and professional networks so that these young people have the confidence and connections to get the job they want.

The Solution

Scarf borrows restaurants, on Monday nights when they're usually closed, to provide relevant hands-on hospitality training and mentoring to marginalised youth who face barriers to obtaining fair access to training and employment.
Monday Night Dinners form part of our Seasonal 10-week hospitality training and mentoring programs. We borrow restaurants from generous, like-minded people who allow us to use their venues outside their normal trading hours.
We offer a two-course set menu for $35 per person. We provide a high quality dining experience to our customers, which our trainees and mentors are proud to be part of. Dining at Scarf is a unique experience. Customers are an important component of the training process – they are the catalyst for the trainee to practice their skills and increase their confidence.
