Episode 53
Thursday, 25 September, 2025
In this episode of The Fresh CrEd, recorded live at the 2025 IFPA Foodservice Conference in Monterey, we spotlight Digital Nest — a nonprofit workforce hub that’s been creating opportunities for underserved youth for more than a decade. With centers across Watsonville, Salinas, Gilroy, Modesto, and Stockton, Digital Nest equips young people ages 14–24 with technical and creative skills that open doors to careers in tech, marketing, and beyond. Their work doesn’t stop at the classroom — they’re also experimenting with how Gen Z connects to food through projects like the “I’d Bite That” social media campaign. From mentorship to career pipelines, Digital Nest shows what’s possible when access, creativity, and community come together. 👉 Learn more at digitalnest.org 🎧 Listen now to learn how the next generation of leaders is being built in the heart of ag country.
