Our Program

At The Rec Project, Inc., we believe that Nutritional Education is a must in the lives of our youth. That is why we have designed a systematic program that will allow kids to not only learn but to internalize the information they have been given. as opposed to one-time or occasional lessons to help students internalize the information. Our program is designed to promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle by offering courses and lasting approximately 45 minutes each time. This will allow our students to learn more about food prep, food cleaning, and proper procedures in cooking or preparing each meal. 

Most importantly, our students will be able to learn more about themselves and gain confidence in the following areas:

Self-Awareness: By teaching nutritional education we believe that our students will learn the importance of taking responsibility for their own health. This is accomplished by encouraging students to think about how they feel or would feel physically and mentally depending on which foods they eat. Such exploration of the body and mind brings students to the point of greater self-awareness and the skills to make better choices to nourish their bodies and help them feel their best.

Social Awareness: Nutrition education is an opportunity for students to learn about foods relating to culture and family heritage. This will allow them to discuss how things are done food wise in other cultures and traditional practices. We believe that this will also allow student to increase their understanding and appreciating diversity.
