We offer cooking programs that not only let children prepare their own healthy foods and snacks, but that also give children opportunities to become nutrition teachers, judges, cooking instructors, and "healthy-living leaders" themselves!  While our classes have always had a large number of high school students involved in leading our nutrition lessons and cooking demonstrations, we have recently expanded upon this "Kids Helping Kids" format to allow the younger children in our classes to help teach our nutrition lessons to the group, assist with our cooking demonstrations, and sit on our panel of "judges" during our weekly food contests.  By engaging our class participants in this way, we hope to continue to motivate children to live healthier lifestyles - by making them teachers, leaders, and judges themselves!  Participants in this class are also invited to our "food donation days" in which children prepare the healthy recipes they learn in our classes and donate these foods to others in need.  Parents receive written nutrition lessons, healthy recipes, suggested weekly menus, and more.
