Leadership With the Mission at Its Center.
EDWINS is guided by leaders, board members, community partners and supporters who share a belief in opportunity, accountability and the power of a second chance.
Stewarding the Work Behind EDWINS.
The work of EDWINS extends well beyond the walls of the restaurant. Its boards provide governance, expertise, accountability and support across the organization and the programs that serve EDWINS students.
Together, these leaders help protect the mission while creating the foundation for EDWINS to continue educating, supporting and creating opportunity for people returning home from incarceration.

Brandon Edwin Chrostowski
Brandon founded EDWINS in 2007 around a simple but demanding belief: every human being deserves a fair and equal future. What began as an idea has grown into a restaurant, school, campus and national model for culinary education and reentry.
