Clark County 4-H currently provides a Discovery Cooking Club and Advanced Cooking to 4-H youth. The clubs are led by certified and screened 4-H Volunteers. These clubs fill up to max capacity each year, with waiting lists who get first offer the following year. In efforts to provide more cooking opportunity to youth of Clark County, Shannon Farrell requested the University of Kentucky, College of Agriculture, Food and Environment Super Star Chef program to be conducted this past summer. This program; a 3 day cooking camp geared towards mastering a variety of cooking techniques, making homemade meals, discovering energy foods, and decoding food labels; is led by trained University Staff and Culinary students. With a class capacity of 20 youth, the sign up for Super Star Chef was promoted and filled via Clark County 4-H Facebook page and Migrant Education coordinator in 2 hours. Of the 20 youth who signed up for the class, 8 were from the Migrant Education program in Winchester (most of whom were also introduced to 4-H for the first time). 9 participants completed the evaluation (pre and posttest) following the program. Highlighted successes from Super Star Chef evaluation included:
