Purpose Statement: To inspire a lifelong passion for cooking among children by fostering teamwork, sparking creativity, and promoting healthy eating habits.
Our mission is to provide a comprehensive culinary program that educates and engages young minds. We aim to:
- Educate children on the fundamentals of cooking, nutrition, and food safety.
- Explore the cultural significance behind various global cuisines.
- Encourage creativity, teamwork, and independence through hands-on cooking experiences.
- Promote a balanced perspective on healthy eating and indulgence.
- Explore creative ways of cooking using budget-friendly pantry staples.
Mondays, 1:30pm - 3:00pm: From June 8th to August 10th, join us weekly at Ypsilanti District Library, Michigan Ave for a chef boot camp where YOU decide the skills you want to work on. Learn to cook for a crowd, dice any veggie, or innovate with basic ingredients to create something new and mouth-watering. Any highly motivated and food-curious kiddos are invited to hone their chef skills in our summer series with YDL!
