How Cookie Cart is imparting a sweet lesson on Twin Cities youth

Cookie Cart’s Executive Director Jacquelyn Carpenter and our amazing youth bakers, Malakai and Li’Naiya, were live on-air with WCCO & CBS News Minnesota.

Partnering with WCCO this year has been an incredible experience. Not only did we proudly share our story on the radio, but we were also featured on Spotlight News. Many might assume this is all about selling cookies—but for us, it’s about the mission. While our cookies are amazing, what truly sets Cookie Cart apart is our commitment to youth and workforce development. We are a special, unique place where the potential of young people shines bright, giving us hope for a future led by young leaders who not only achieve but lead with heart.
