P.S. 329 hosts a Teaching Academy for 4th and 5th graders, where they learn about dance, sports and fine arts. They want to add a cooking component onto the Academy so the students can learn all about their favorite foods and dishes, how to prepare them and much more! We are in search of professional chefs and cooks who have experience teaching children or classes about cooking. Our goal is to enrich the students' experiences and build their self-confidence in these specialized fields.
Ideally this will be a weekly or bi-weekly session running 90 minutes during the school day. Not able to commit to a weekly visit? Not an issue! We are looking for multiple guest cooking teachers to visit the students for the Academy.
About P.S. 329:

Change for Kids (CFK) provides critical supports, experiences, and access so kids in New York City public schools can reimagine their possibilities and overcome inequity. We believe opportunities create options. We believe that one can’t dream what one has not seen. We believe creating opportunities for young people allows them to see themselves with different options, through different lenses. And this affords them the tools to reimagine their own possibilities and the tools with which to overcome inequity.
The Change for Kids community works together to allow young people to see themselves in the future with unlimited options. CFK School Managers, in partnership with principals, teachers, and CFK leadership, identify the needs of each CFK partner school.
Change for Kids partners with 13 schools across the five boroughs reaching almost 5,000 students. We provide and manage a mix of resources, including leadership support for principals, teachers, parents, and other school leaders; academic enrichment and engagement programs; volunteers; corporate sponsors; school community support; custom CFK programming designed to fill the gaps identified by our partner schools; and meaningful volunteer opportunities for individuals, public and private organizations, and college/university students.
