Greens + kids = a recipe for healthy fun!

When kids get hands-on in the kitchen, they’re more open to trying new things—like these tasty Brussels sprouts! 🍽️🌱

Here is a taste of some of our achievements this past year:

We grew our school programs and up leveled our classes by investing in our apprenticeship program for educators, attracting really skilled and loving afterschool teachers to bring best-of-breed programs to the schools we serve.

We expanded our Summer camps to the East Bay and had 6 great weeks in Albany and Piedmont.

We hosted over FIVE HUNDRED teenagers visiting from the East Coast and abroad over the Summer - proudly without one single glitch!

Through all of this, every time I found myself in the kitchen—whether with preschoolers, teens, or executives—I always felt a profound sense of purpose. The connections we create and the lessons shared during these moments reaffirm to me the value of our collective work. It is a true blessing to engage with our mission and share it with you and those around us.

Wishing you all a wonderful start to 2025 and hope to see you in the kitchen soon!
