Teen Career Launch

The teens in the Boys and Girls Club of Central Illinois’ Career Launch spent yesterday afternoon on campus learning about culinary programs and careers from Nancy Sweet, Jolene Adams and Sean Keeley. The teens learned about the many aspects of food preparation from food safety to presentation. They even had the opportunity to prepare a meal that included frozen fruit smoothies, cherry and tahini energy balls, grilled vegetable wraps with hummus and fresh mozzarella, zucchini chips and tabbouleh salad!
