Our mission is to get kids excited about food that’s good for both people and the planet. We do this by teaching affordable and fun plant-focused cooking and increasing access to healthy foods in schools and communities.
See us in action!
At Little Chefs, Big Change, we believe that every child deserves access to healthy food and the skills to prepare it. Through hands-on cooking classes, kids from underserved communities are discovering that they do like veggies, legumes, and whole grains—and learning lifelong cooking skills in the process. Our programs fight against existing inequalities in the food system, challenge ideas about kids and pickiness, and empower children as agents of change.
