Students work with experienced culinary instructors to explore meal preparation and planning with the support of Chef's and staff from the Kneaded Culinary Academy in Gilroy. The Academy is not just about cooking; it's about empowering the youth in our community. Opportunity Youth Academy is proud to be partnering with Kneaded as we work together to inspire and build a brighter future for our students, "one disha at a time."

Student participants will learn valuable skils and have an opportunity to earn their Food Handlers Certification.
