On Saturday, November 21^st, a group of students enrolled in One Hope United’s Kenwood Youth Leadership Academy attended a field trip to Rio’s d’Sudamerica, a Peruvian restaurant in the Chicago Bucktown neighborhood owned by Dino Perez. Perez and his daughter spoke to the students about their professional and academic experiences, respectively, and offered suggestions on how to build a career in hospitality.

The young ladies took a tour of the restaurant and learned several skills ranging from customer interaction and hostessing to décor and setup. The evening concluded with a delicious dinner. Many thanks to the Perez family and Rio’s d’Sudamerica for hosting such a fantastic evening!
