The youth summer program of Bowling Green Parks and Recreation offers activities and fun to youth during the summer break. Many of the youth enrolled struggled with eating fruits and vegetables as well as drinking milk. A cooking and nutrition series was conducted by one of the Warren County SNAP-Ed Assistants. The Teen Cuisine curriculum was presented and the series included nutrition, food safety, food preparation, and physical activity components.

Participants showed improvements in several areas after the series concluded. Seventy percent of the youth showed improvement in consuming more vegetables, while 80 % showed improvement in consuming more fruits. Also, 70% showed improvement in consuming milk daily. Several participants tried many new fruits and vegetables for the first time in their life, including raspberries and spinach. While the series has ended, participants said they planned to continue incorporating healthier snack choices in their everyday diet.
