Food for Thought Mentoring
May 13, 2014 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 4:30 pm on Tuesday, repeating until May 20, 2014
We are pleased to announce the pilot of Food for Thought, a new no-cost learning support and enrichment program for 4th through 8th graders which is aimed to equip and encourage children and youth through the exploration and enjoyment of food. This one-on-one mentoring program will reinforce skills known to be necessary for success in and out of school. The central theme of food and thinking will come to life in one-on-one mentoring relationships.
Together mentors and mentees will …
- share healthy and delicious meals.
- take cooking classes with professional chefs.
- participate in creating real solutions for hunger, health, and sustainable agriculture .
- learn about the food we eat.
- investigate how different cultures around the world eat, extend hospitably and show gratitude.
- build meaningful relationships that support them during the joys and the struggles of life.
For more information about how your child can participate in Food for Thought during the spring 8 week pilot program and/or our full year program beginning fall 2014 please talk to Sara Hackett at 412.673.2926.
