Teen Programs
Teen volunteers are an important part of Caring Kitchen's mission, and we always have volunteering opportunities after school and during holidays. We also host a Summer Teen Program each summer, bringing teens into the garden and kitchen for a fun and educational service experience that looks great on college applications and resumes. We are now accepting applications for our 2024 free Summer Program, which runs Monday and Tuesday mornings, from July 15 to July 30. To learn more, contact afoley@ncoinc.org.
