Flyin' Lion Transition to Employment Program
Offering hope in the form of career-readiness training to persons economically challenged or differently able.

Our Mission
Flyin' Lion Ministries seeks to improve the quality of life for our neighbors in the North Mecklenburg community by supporting sustainable employment and upward mobility. Our goal is to create a community that embraces acceptance and encouragement and will enhance the talents and skills of persons who have limited resources due to cultural isolation, domestic violence, homelessness or poverty, or whose employment opportunities have been limited due to developmental or other challenges.

The Program
Chef Led Instruction
​Our students will learn to produce high-quality baked goods as they receive instruction in all the basic food handling and food preparation techniques.
ServSafe Certification
Upon successful completion of the ServSafe® course and exam, and receipt of their certificate, graduates of the Flyin’ Lion program will be attractive candidates for employment in the Food Service Industry.
Career Services
The program will equip our students with the skills necessary to apply for and maintain employment. Through community partnerships, we will assist our students in finding positions in local restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, cafés and with caterers.
