Dale Turner Family YMCA
Support young chefs as they learn, create, and build confidence in the kitchen! Volunteer Class Helpers assist YMCA instructors during hands-on cooking classes for children ages 3–13. Volunteers help create a welcoming, encouraging environment where kids can safely explore new foods, practice age-appropriate cooking skills, and have fun learning alongside their peers. Responsibilities may include helping set up and clean up materials, supporting small groups during activities, encouraging participation, assisting with simple kitchen tasks, and helping reinforce kitchen safety and positive behavior. No professional cooking experience is required — just patience, enthusiasm, and a passion for helping kids learn and grow. This is a great opportunity for volunteers who enjoy working with youth, supporting creativity, and being part of a fun, community-centered learning experience.
