Around the Table Curriculum

Around the Table and Around the Table: Nourishing Families (preview) are designed to build food, nutrition, and cooking literacy, while integrating social emotional learning and using trauma-sensitive facilitation. Participants enjoy hands-on cooking, facilitated conversations, and interactive activities that support healthy connections to food, self, and community. 

  • Around the Table is a six-week youth and young adult curriculum designed for groups of 7-15 youth, aged 14-21.
  • Around the Table: Nourishing Families is a six-week adult curriculum designed for groups of 10-14 adults raising children.
  • Two facilitators are recommended.
  • A kitchen or community space with room for hands-on food preparation is required.
  • Approved for use in California’s CalFresh Healthy Living Program (SNAP-Ed).
