The problem

According to the American Heart Association, teaching youth how to prepare their own food will give them a skill they can use for a lifetime, they will be more likely to eat healthier as adults, and build self- confidence.

The educational program response

Senior Chef was a year long program in Fayette County. The group met once a month for 2 hours each time. They learned how to prepare healthy main course meals and a dessert. Many of the teens had never participated in a cooking club before this club. Each time the group met the leader would give them a recipe and they were responsible for find the ingredients and cooking. Many of them learned skills with cooking but also measuring, cutting, and other.
