Old Skool Café w/ Teresa Goines (re-release)

Beyond The Fog Radio Season 4 begins NEXT WEEK! We're so excited to begin sharing all of the great new interviews we've conducted in the past few months. But, to tide you over until then, we have one more re-release episode to present: our interview with Teresa Goines (Season 3 Episode 10), the founder and executive director of Old Skool Café in San Francisco's Bayview District. Formerly a juvenile probation officer, Teresa made a career change to give troubled youths a chance at community and purpose, instead of imprisonment. With the help of volunteer chefs and builders, Old Skool Café went from a small pop-up in Teresa's home to a beautiful 1920s-style supper club in its own building — complete with velvet curtains, luxurious booths, and ornate chandeliers. While Old Skool Café has a delicious international menu, its sense of community is its greatest strength. Kids cook, clean, wait tables, and entertain guests to learn important life skills within a healthy and supportive environment. After meeting Teresa in-person, we knew right away that her interview would be one of our favorites to date. Join us as we revisit our heartfelt conversation with the one and only Teresa Goines.
