Sumner Teen Center is a youth recreation and education center in Gallatin, TN. We work with 1-18 year old students and provide them with a safe place to have fun as well as learn life, social, leadership and career skills. We bridge the gap between parents and school when getting students ready to be productive citizens and employees, as well as good neighbors.
We are looking for creative individuals who can cook and share their skills with a small group of students (no more than 6). As we venture across the globe, we are looking for ethnically diverse candidates who can share techniques and spices from their country of origin - or trained chefs who are willing to share their favorite culture's recipe.
Supplies are provided for the meal and basic kitchen tools are on hand. Spices and techniques that require special tools or exotic spices may be requested of the instructor (due to a limited budget). However, we will make every effort to make our instructors as comfortable as possible.
Please contact us and set up an appointment to tour our facility and meet the staff prior to committing to a date.

Description
We lead the next generation of warriors, and the battle they face is the battle of the mind!
Growing trends in teen homelessness, unemployment, mental health struggles and even suicide have prompted us to study the root of the problem. Most of the time, it is a sense of hopelessness. Too many teens do not see their full potential. They are bullied and even programmed by society to think that they have no worth. When it gets really bad, they do not have the brain development to see the possibility of hope.
We've learned that hope is a sense of self, safety and community. This is where our warrior is found! In 2020 we are helping teens to find their inner warrior. WAR PAINT Whether for battle or celebration, the painted face of the warrior is unique to the individual. STC uses art as a means of self-expression, healing and fun. ARMOR The warrior's armor is designed for battle. It protects the warrior's weakest parts. The armor we build is that of confidence, skills and wit. TRIBE A warrior does not go into battle alone. He is supported by his tribe. They find a tribe here at STC. We are artists, gamers, actors, athletes and activists.
Be a part of the movement to change the way we teach the next generation...the generation that will take care of us one of these days!
