This 5-week certificate program will help teenagers develop meal planning, cooking, nutrition, presentation, and leadership skills. We will do food demonstrations and nutrition lessons to encourage participants to adopt healthy lifestyles and habits that they will continue in the future. Additionally, participants will work together on an outreach project to communicate what they have learned and advocate for healthy habits to their peers and younger youths in Jefferson County. Participants are eligible to receive a FREE weekly food box with a recipe and ingredients. Boxes can be picked up at the Cornell Cooperative Extension office on Mondays during business hours, starting February 8th. Space for this program is limited and registration is required.
