Through the implementation of a Junior League created and branded curriculum, JLOC volunteers educate members at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County on a variety of interactive healthy eating topics.

Top Chef teaches children/teens, ages 10-14 years, healthy eating principles in a hands-on environment throughout a five or six- week session (depending on the OKC school year calendar).  JLOC volunteers work with a group of Club members weekly, teaching them about healthy foods and the preparation of healthy snacks. This project also promotes and encourages participation in a physical activity. JLOC Volunteers plan the weekly menu and the physical activity. Club members in the Top Chef program learn their way around the kitchen, how to prepare a written recipe, how to create a snack or meal with no recipe, how to plan a meal and write a grocery list, and how to prepare a dish they create on their own — all with the help of the JLOC volunteers. The program also includes weekly mini-competitions, akin to the popular television show.
