Junior Chef Academy
Where Indianapolis Students Master the Art of Cooking
One in six Indiana residents suffers from food insecurity. The ratio is higher among children.
Many Junior Chef Academy participants face food insecurity every day.
The Junior Chef Academy was created to address food insecurity at the source: with our children.
The Junior Chef Academy is an after school program that empowers students ages 12-15 with culinary skills. We reinforce these skills through friendly competition and a points system, where the top students win the opportunity to compete in the World Food Championships.
Combating Food Insecurity Through Education
How can students get involved?
Applications for the Junior Chef Academy open in February 2025, with open tryouts taking place on March 3 at 4 PM.
