Fund

After-School: Skills, Food + Community

Help young people build skills and give back.

Food can bring people together in more ways than one. At the Sandbox, young people can learn practical skills, work as a team and contribute something useful to their community.

What support can help provide.

A purposeful experience needs ingredients, guidance and a place to work together. Community support can help provide:

  • Ingredients and kitchen materials.
  • Skilled facilitation.
  • Kitchen access for community use.
  • Opportunities for young people to contribute.

Making something for someone else.

Club Sandwich Jr. turns time after school into a chance to help. Young volunteers prepare sandwiches for community distribution while learning and working together.

“What I love about Club Sandwich Jr. is coming from school and knowing I’m making sandwiches for other people and helping them.”
