Our classroom volunteers enjoy working with children and have an interest in gardening and/or cooking; however, we do not expect volunteers to be professionals or experts in either area. On any given day, you could be in the raised garden beds coaxing a seedling to life, harvesting ripe produce, or cooking those fresh fruits and vegetables in one of our culinary classroom. Volunteers assist the teacher, direct the children, share in the experience, and encourage the children to actively engage in the lessons. Our classroom volunteers range from high school students to professional chefs. If you have a desire to work directly with children, this is the volunteer opportunity for you.

About Recipe for Success Foundation
Location:
4400 Yupon St., Houston, TX 77006, US
Mission Statement
Recipe for Success Foundation is dedicated to combating childhood obesity by changing the way our children understand, appreciate and eat their food, and by educating and mobilizing the community to provide healthier diets for children.
Now entering our second decade, we have developed a comprehensive experiential learning program that makes healthy food fun, we promote healthy eating with books, contests and public awareness campaigns, and we work to make affordable, healthy food available to everyone. Our signature programs include national initiatives like Seed-to-Plate Nutrition Education™ in schools, the VegOut! Challenge, farmers marKIDS DAYS and the Eat This! series of children's cookbooks. In Houston, we go a step further in helping parents provide healthy diets for their kids, by training US military veterans to grow fresh affordable produce for their neighbors at our 7-acre Hope Farms urban ag showcase in the Sunnyside neighborhood.
We envision a world where healthy eating is the norm and a culture where nutritious food is shared, appreciated, and celebrated.
