The 2012 Youth Culinary Tour is a cooking demonstration hosted by young culinary artists (ages 18 & under) during the farmers market at urban garden sites located in our three target market areas every Third Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The goal is for kids to teach kids how to make healthy snacks and better decisions regarding food intake that lead to healthier lifestyles and disease prevention (childhood diabetes, obesity, and behavior problems).

I can gather police department officials being that my father is a Lieutenant of the Metro-Dade police department. I can also hold a town meeting being that the officials reside on my street. I can get in contact with the presdient of FIU being that I am still a student. I can gather a handful of principals from public and private schools and I can also gather Judicial officials from the state if needed to truly have an impacting message to the community.

NEXT Steps introduces youth to career pathways in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (S.T.E.M.) by teaching them how to apply the transferable farm and market management skills used at Atwood Community Gardens & Urban Farm -- a 3.5 acre training center and outdoor event facility – which include strategic planning and business development strategies, special event management, investigative research and discovery activities, community service and environmental stewardship.

 We work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to provide nutrition education and improved access to healthy food in low-income communities.

We run Cooking Matters, a national program created by Share Our Strength, which is a free, hands-on cooking and nutrition series for low-income families. We collaborate with community partners such as schools, health clinics, food pantries, and community centers to make our food system more equitable, three square meals at a time.
