Junior Chefs

In the Community

Focus

Junior Chefs was created to inspire children to develop the skills necessary to create healthy meals and snacks with commonly available, economically priced food items.

How

Groups of children participate in food preparation by reading recipes, gathering ingredients and cookware, learning about food and equipment safety, and participating in cleanup. The 90-minute sessions are offered through community agencies. Junior League of Edmonton members and sustainers, as well as community volunteers, deliver the program.

Past venues include Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs of Edmonton and Norwood Child & Family Resource Centre.

Why

The Edmonton Social Planning Council has figures to indicate that almost 10,000 children in Edmonton are persistently hungry. They are often without after-school care and do not have experience in safely preparing healthy food in the kitchen.

Funding

Junior League of Edmonton, Culinary Team Alberta and ongoing community donations
