BAKERY PROGRAM: DOG TAG INC. (DOG TAG) (DOING BUSINESS AS DOG TAG BAKERY) WAS INCORPORATED IN 2011 UNDER THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. FELLOWS' BUSINESS COURSEWORK BUILDS A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR THE EXPLORATION AND SKILLS-BUILDING PROVIDED BY PRACTICAL ROTATIONS. WITH DOG TAG STAFF SERVING AS MENTORS AND TEACHERS, FELLOWS SPEND UP TO SIX HOURS PER WEEK IN HANDS-ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ("ROTATIONS") THROUGHOUT THE OPERATIONS OF DOG TAG (INCLUDING OUR BAKERY.) ROTATIONS PROVIDE FELLOWS WITH FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE IN HOW A BUSINESS RUNS: GIVING THEM AN UNDERSTANDING OF BOTH THE DAILY TASKS AND OVERALL BIG PICTURE OF HOW THE BUSINESS FUNCTIONS. THIS INTENSIVE, EXPERIENTIAL ASPECT, WHERE FELLOWS ARE IMMERSED IN DOG TAG'S DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, IS WHAT SETS DOG TAG APART FROM OTHER TRANSITION PROGRAMS; FELLOWS DON'T JUST STUDY BUSINESS-THEY LIVE, WORK, AND EXPERIENCE BUSINESS FIRST-HAND. THE PHYSICAL SPACE OF THE BAKERY SERVES TO SUPPORT OUR PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITY. DOG TAG PARTNERS WITH OTHER VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES AS A HUB FOR LEARNING, MENTORSHIP, AND CONNECTION; ORGANIZATIONS WITH A COMMON MISSION OFTEN USE THE BAKERY AS A MEETING AND EVENT SPACE. EACH DAY WE WELCOME OUR NEIGHBORS, PARTNERS, AND CUSTOMERS TO SUPPORT OUR ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF A COFFEE OR COOKIE AT THE BAKERY AND LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR MISSION, OUR IMPACT, AND HOW TO SUPPORT OUR VETERANS, MILITARY SPOUSES, AND CAREGIVERS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$785.6K
