Founded in 2008, Shanghai Young Bakers (SYB) provides a fully-sponsored French bakery training to disadvantaged Chinese youth (aged 17-23), enabling them to find qualified jobs and lead independent lives after graduation.

During the one-year training, SYB students follow classes in traditional Western bakery, life skills and English, combined with a practical internship at international hotels.

Sponsored by Carrefour Foundation as well as PSA Foundation and other companies, this social innovation program is managed by a dynamic multicultural team, and operates under the governance of Chi Heng Foundation with the support of the Shanghai Charity Foundation.

Since 2011, half-day bakery classes, social teambuilding events, and bread & pastry catering are available to individuals and companies wishing to contribute to the success and sustainability of the program.  

海上青焙坊（Shanghai Young Bakers）成立于2008年，项目致力于为来自困难家庭17－23岁的青少年无偿提供一年的免费法式烘焙技术训练，以使得他们可以在毕业后找到合适的就业机会并自力更生。

在为期一年的培训中，海上青焙坊的学员们在完成传统西式烘焙课程之余，还有生活技能课和英语课，更有在国际性大酒店中实习的机会。

这个社会创新型项目由家乐福基金会与标致雪铁龙等公司共同赞助，并由来自法国、中国和其他国家的员工和志愿者负责。该项目由智行基金会与上海慈善基金会合作运营。

自2011年起，我们为希望为此项目的成功及可持续性做出贡献的个人与企业开展了半天的烘焙课程、公司拓展项目、和外烩服务。
