"I volunteered with Sprouts this past summer and loved it! I work in the nutrition field and so I really enjoyed seeing kids learn the skills needed to get creative with food and live a healthy life. The kids are exposed to amazing chefs in the community and have so many first-rate experiences. The Sprouts team puts in an incredible amount of effort behind the scenes."
“I am constantly inspired by Sprouts Chef trainees and am honored to support them as they overcome challenges and take charge of their futures.”
The Sprouts Chef Training Program gives back. I didn’t really have that growing up, so I wanted to make sure that once I had my own place I could do that for somebody.
Being a chef is a responsibility. It is the responsibility of transferring information from one generation to another.
“Give a young person a spatula, and support, and something exciting starts to sizzle.”
"Volunteering with Sprouts was an awesome experience. Very smooth volunteer process, I've done it several times... It's always awesome to see a shy or nervous child's personality emerge while cooking. Sprouts is doing really amazing and necessary work in our community."
