 Youth will learn how to safely cook tasty and healthy meals while developing leadership skills along with;

1. Cooking from scratch 
2. Read and follow recipes and understand ingredients
3. Develop introductory cooking techniques
4. Nutritional info and food alternatives (eg GF, DF, vegetarian)
5. Grocery shopping/selecting fresh food

Supervised by a Youth Worker and Club Volunteer, each week we cover general safety and cleanliness in the kitchen: food safe practices, cross contamination, safety with equipment and appliances.  Through this program, youth gain confidence in self and abilities, communication, teamwork, relationship building and independence/responsibility (eg cleaning up after cooking).

Other Junior Chef program options include; 

Junior Chef at the BearsPaw Community Centre, Thursday after school

Junior Chef at the Bragg Creek Community Centre on Tuesday after school  

All Junior Chef programs are led by our talented Youth Workers as well as guest volunteers. Junior Chef runs in 8 week sessions.
