Sam Antar, recent Cooke alum, was all smiles when he was offered a full-time, paid position as a “granologist” at Luv Michael, a healthy snack business.

Based in Long Island City, Luv Michael’s mission is to provide meaningful employment for young adults with autism.

Antar told ABC News that after working at Luv Michael, he’d like to move on and become a chef. “I’m learning a lot at Luv Michael,” he said. “I love baking and cooking.”

We are thrilled to see our alumni succeed after graduating from Cooke. Watching them be meaningfully engaged in their communities as employed, joyous, self-assured adults brings our mission to fruition! Way to go, Sam!
