Dale Anderson - Confections with Convictions

Dale Anderson worked for years counseling young people who had been involved with the courts. He began to think that he could be more effective by providing them with a second chance through tangible work experience, especially for youth with convictions. By helping youth learn a trade, Anderson’s primary focus is to help young workers confront systemic issues such as trying to complete their education. To date, about 20 young people have benefitted from Anderson's mentorship as volunteers or employees, becoming skilled about making chocolates. Together, they have made over 200,000 pieces of chocolate and truffles.
