Learners of all ages love transforming their classroom, lunch room or staff room into a hustling, bustling kitchen with our Chefs in the Classroom program.
This program offers an opportunity to have real-life culinary professionals from diverse backgrounds join your students in the classroom. Your class will connect and learn from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of colour) chefs covering a wide range of topics that can be linked to many subjects or curriculums.
We also offer the program virtually through Chefs@Home, providing accessible, culturally appropriate cooking sessions complete with a fully-stocked meal kit for participants to cook along with from home. Because these workshops are offered virtually, all family members and caregivers have the opportunity to engage and benefit from the expertise of our inspiring chefs (and youth!) and enjoy a family meal together.
Note: All of our chefs have vulnerable sector checks.
Can’t wait to cook with us?
