Description
Around the Table for Youth and Young Adults is a curriculum that upholds principles of trauma-informed engagement and nourishment. Participants enjoy hands-on cooking, facilitated conversations, and interactive activities that build healthy connection to food, self, and community. This is a six-week curriculum designed for groups of 7-15 youth, aged 14-21. It can be conducted in community spaces with or without a kitchen.
Leah's Pantry has approved Around the Table to be delivered via a virtual format. Modifications may not be made to handouts, but permission is given to create slides based on workbook pages although Leah's Pantry has slides available for download to partners. Modifications can be made with regard to lesson delivery to take advantage of virtual platform capabilities. Some virtual lesson plans are available for download to partners, although we expect that partners will need to modify delivery strategies based on their situation.
