CREATE ·2022 Grants ChallengeHigh School Career Exploration Pilot Program
Common Threads is partnering with Susan Miller Dorsey High School to pilot a new career exploration program to introduce 9-12th grade students to nutrition related healthcare careers. Students will gain nutrition knowledge and culinary skills through hands-on classes and will be exposed to different career paths through job shadowing and internships. Traditional high school culinary education programs focus on careers in the culinary industry. Our program seeks to bridge a gap between culinary education and healthcare training.

We are seeking $100,000 in support of our hands-on, in- and out-of-school healthy cooking and nutrition education for underserved kids, their families, and their teachers. Our programs bring healthy food to children in need, while also teaching them how to prepare nutritious, affordable meals and snacks on their own. During the 2015-2016 school year, we will partner with 15 Los Angeles schools to implement our proven programming, thereby reaching a total of 3,649 individuals.
