High School FCS Program

Author: Jessica Webb

Planning Unit: Estill County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Estill County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Assistant partnered with the Estill County High School Family and Consumer Sciences teacher to bring the Teen Cuisine Curriculum to the youth in the classroom. There were 40 youth over 2 semesters that learned hands on cooking skills, budgeting, food safety, knife skills, and meal planning. The youth were broken into 4 groups and each group prepared a recipe after a lesson. The youth enjoyed the hands-on aspect of the program, and each participant received a bag with reinforcement items in it. At the end of the program many of the youth showed great improvement in basic cooking and knife skills and were much more confident in the kitchen.
