Our Solutionary Workshops: Indentify, Connect & Moblize
We empower youth of all ages to become Solutionaries equipping them with the tools to tackle complex community issues through our dynamic and engaging 1.5 hour workshops. Workshops combine big conversations with hands-on food skill development. Our workshops are customizable to topics the youth you engage with are interested in. Here are topics we've covered to date:
-food access & food desert vs. food apartheid
-social determinants of health
-what we can do about the issues, what does activism mean for you?
-power, privilege & social capital
-wealth & inequality
-poverty & housing insecurity
-charity vs. social justice
-our role in the changing natural environment
-movements here & around the world
-art and social justice
-basic cooking skills
Combining food literacy, civic engagement and community connections, youth foster new ideas to create community resilience. We aim to cultivate a strong sense of belonging to a healthy community, applying a definition "healthy" that considers much more than just eating well and exercising.
