“These classes have introduced our family to a whole new world of eating. Ben is excited to try new recipes and making the meals has increased his independence. He is learning the importance of eating vegetables!”
-Mary, family class participant, Philmont NY
Mary and Ben participated in our Cooks for Health Family program, a 6-week virtual cooking class coupled with meal kits. By the end of each class, a healthy dinner for the whole family is on the table. Mary exclaims, “Ben is always so proud of making a meal and then sharing it with the family. As a parent, I am so grateful. We love cooking classes!”
Help empower youth and families on a path of health and well-being.
Cooks for Health Families share their plated dishes!
The roots of health disparities start in childhood, so youth-focused programs are crucial for children to develop the intellectual skills, creativity, and well-being required to become healthy and productive adults.* The Sylvia Center programs effectively teach families the importance of including youth in cooking at home. Over 90% of families want to join our program again, our families are hungry to learn more.
