On April 21, members of Elks Lodge Augusta 964’s Edge Program held the first in a series of culinary classes at the Augusta Teen Center. The Edge Program, funded by an Impact Grant, aims to mentor teens in exploring their career paths.
Due to the Spring Break, we will be hosting another culinary class this Thursday, with plans to continue monthly sessions thereafter. Currently, five students have expressed an interest in pursuing careers as chefs, cooks, or sous chefs.
To encourage participation, we have assembled five cooking kits that participants can win. Every student who attends and actively participates will have their name entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of the kits. At the end of the program, we will draw five names. Each kit includes a chef’s rolling cart, a versatile stove/oven 10-inch pan, measuring cups, spoons, and a selection of spices.
