Youth Leadership Program - Happy Meal
Sponsor: Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House
Youth Representative: Lysandra
Happy Meal is a cooking class for youth to learn how to cook meals using foods from different cultures. The class will offer the youth an opportunity to meet different people and learn to cooperate in a large group environment.
The intent is to teach the youth new cooking skills to be used in the future as a life skill, for knowledge of healthy eating, managing finances when buying food, and increasing awareness of the effort that goes into cooking. The Happy Meal program will also teach the participants to determine the food’s freshness, price, and the use for the different foods.
A multicultural approach will expose the youth to food from different influences such as that of Japan, Korea, Italy, Mexico, China, Thailand, Vietnam and India.
The goals of the Happy Meal project are:
- To train the youth to be able to successfully cook for themselves when they are alone;
- To offer an opportunity for the participants to meet new friends and socialize about common and other interests; and,
- Tto promote skills training and cooperation.
