Because everyone belongs at the table.
About this Event
October is kimchi-making season!
Join CoSpire Café for a special hands-on Korean cooking experience with James Park—food creator, author, and culinary producer.
Together, participants will make fresh radish kimchi, discover how its bold flavors come together, and enjoy it with bossam-style pork and Korean rice wine.
More than a cooking event, this is an opportunity to share Korean food and culture, connect with others, and support an inclusive community.
CoSpire Café serves as a real-world job training site where young adults with disabilities develop skills, gain experience, and demonstrate their talents. Your participation supports CIDA’s mission to expand meaningful employment and community opportunities for people of all abilities.
