Inspiring Global Kinship

Chocolate University is a neighborhood and global outreach initiative of Askinosie Chocolate and The Askinosie Foundation. As an experiential learning program for local students with an international reach, we aim to inspire students, through the lens of artisan chocolate making, to be global citizens, know themselves and their opportunities and embrace the idea that small businesses can solve world problems.
