Our mission is to serve as a platform for economic development for aspiring immigrant and refugee women entrepreneurs to learn the skills to find a great job in the industry or launch their own business using our earn-while-you-learn model.
Launched by Focus Points Family Resource Center in October 2016, this purposeful restaurant was formed in direct response to the community-identified need for economic opportunity in the face of gentrification. Since Comal opened its doors, the training program has served 40 participants and helped launch 6 businesses.
This multi-purpose kitchen incubator takes a form of 36 months training program, during which cohort participants train in the Comal restaurant to learn on-the-job skills, test their heritage recipes and grow with a restaurant owner mindset. Everything on the menu is made from scratch, reflecting the heritage of each entrepreneur.
The economic development aspect of Comal is a “earn while you learn” model. This follows the philosophy of a family resource center to support families in financial sustainability. While participants are learning on the job they are also earning a stipend to support their training efforts. The stipend is positioned as economic support to participants who might not otherwise be able to invest this time into training and developing their business.
Comal is designed to be a place where different cultures can be bridged, shared, and cherished. With the rapid development of Denver, and the increase in costs, Comal is providing the space needed to keep entrepreneurship local and thriving.
