The Sylvia Center (TSC) educates youth, families, and communities about the connection between food and health through interactive food literacy programming which includes cooking skills and an introduction to nutrition. Programming is adapted to teach all age groups and skill levels. Workforce development components are added to teen programs and fresh food ingredient kits are included with family programming to assist with both food education and food insecurity. Guided by a vision to eradicate diet-related disease, TSC seeks to build a foundation of knowledge necessary for participants to make informed food choices that directly benefits health and wellbeing.
