Our Mission
Empowering a diverse group of teen girls in life and leadership skills through meaningful work.
Try Pie is a teen employment program that uses work as a tool to engage and equip young women for their futures.
Teens at Try Pie learn to manage their paychecks, prepare for future employment, understand their unique gifts, and recognize value in each other.
Experiential learning in the kitchen is supported by time spent in a classroom setting with curriculum focusing on our four core values: Financial stewardship, job skill development, faith development and reconciling community.
Through working at Try Pie, teens are holistically prepared to pursue their goals as confident, contributing members of their community.
