Every Kid Can Cook (EKCC) fosters positive mental health and social-emotional learning in youth by empowering them to take control over their own health and development, with nutrition education, hands-on culinary training, and peer and community leadership opportunities. Impact is duplicated when youth model and galvanize healthy behaviors by sharing their knowledge, recipes, and passion among their peers online and offline, in local community centers and schools. We currently serve communities in Howard County, Baltimore City, New Orleans and Atlanta.
Locally, EKCC connects and brings valuable programming to Howard County in our Food and Wellness Studio, located in Long Reach Village Center. Our Food & Wellness Studio houses Every Kid Can Cook and other program partners, which teach nutrition and wellness to adults, youth and families. This spring we are excited to finally open our studio to the public, who will be able to use our kitchen space, cooking, and media equipment, and have access to culinary nutrition and community organizing mentorship from our staff.
