We work with youth, ages 16-24, who are in the foster care system, court-involved, homeless, out of school, parenting, or involved with the Department of Mental Health. At More Than Words, our young people earn a spot on our team running a successful $4M business, gain promotions, set and achieve personal goals, advocate for their rights, and learn skills to set them up for success in any career path they choose. Because too often our young people are treated for their problems rather than engaged as part of their own solution. In our work-based social enterprise, youth experience a real job and all that comes with it: a paycheck, a sense of mattering when a team relies on them, feedback and performance reviews, promotions and leadership. More Than Words started as the "book people" and we still are - but we are so much more. Our social enterprises are the vehicle for youth transformation and as we've grown we've innovated with new vehicles and new ways to connect with our community.

What happens around the dinner table, we believe, is one of the greatest sources of delight. Let us create the right private event for you, whether you're hosting a small gathering or a large gathering, a casual reception or a formal dinner. Lunches, dinners, cocktail receptions, taster tours, wine tastings, and demos are all available. Below are some of our space options. In our third-floor dining room, which is focused on an open kitchen and a massive wood-burning grill, you can host your gathering. Your guests will be transported to an Italian greenhouse as they sip seasonal beverages and relax as the Terra culinary team prepares a menu of perfectly balanced smoke-kissed dishes using seasonal ingredients, all while being surrounded by greenery. The Terra culinary staff cooks seasonal fresh foods over flaming flames in the dining room, enabling the simple flavors to emerge. The herb-infused drinks, extensive wines, and local brews complement the earthy cuisine nicely. In other words, each visit to Terra will provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The casual, busy restaurant serves groups of 12 to 25 people and focuses on the culinary mainstays of Italian cuisine. Your visitors will be able to enjoy Italian beverages while watching professional chefs and pizza makers prepare food right in front of their eyes. While pizza and pasta are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Italian cuisine, there is a reason why these two culinary classics are Italy's most popular exports. Just feet away from where our professional pasta cooks and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes, you may enjoy our seasonal assortment.
