Program Description:

The Future Pathways Culinary Program is an exciting afterschool initiative designed to ignite a passion for cooking and culinary arts among middle school students. This program provides a hands-on, interactive learning experience where students in grades 6 through 8 can explore the art of cooking, understand the importance of nutrition, and develop essential life skills.  

Students will engage in various culinary activities, including:

  • Learning fundamental cooking techniques

  • Exploring diverse cuisines and ingredients

  • Understanding the principles of nutrition and healthy eating

  • Developing teamwork and collaboration skills in the kitchen

  • Enhancing creativity through recipe creation and food presentation

Our skilled instructors will guide students through each session, ensuring a safe and fun environment where they can express their culinary creativity and gain confidence in the kitchen.
