About Old Skool Cafe

Old Skool Cafe is a 501c3 non-profit organization that offers restaurant industry training, career development and mentoring opportunities to at-risk youth in the Bay View. The project is currently working to transform a classic 1930s art deco building in the Bayview into a hip and swingin’ youth-run Supper Club. The club will eventually feature fine dining and evening cabaret shows.

Youth enrolled in the Old Skool program take dance classes for free. Admission costs paid by the general public help subsidize costs of the dance program as well as building renovations such as installing a new dance floor.

Come learn to dance, make some new friends and party with us on Friday evenings…and watch the building and youth transform week by week!
