Youth Thrive Through Skills, Friendship, and Confidence

Youth learn new skills, make friends, and set individual and team goals. This improves self-confidence, increases self-esteem, and improves overall wellbeing. Time with family and friends in this positive environment strengthens our communities.

We offer a progressive program with classes ranging ages 18 months old to Adults. We offer a variety of concentrations.

Jr. Chefs is a hands-on cooking class for children ages 3-5 years or 5-10 years. Children will have an introduction to preparing tasty, and healthy snacks.
