GROUP CURRENTLY ON HOLD – PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU’D BE INTERESTED IN THE FUTURE.

This is a social enterprise program for teens and young adults on the Autism Spectrum and with other disabilities. During this fun group, we cook and share supper each week and prepare healthy snacks, which we sell in the Fitness Centre of the JCC. Members leave the group with a wage, which they earn through the social enterprise element of the group.

This group is perfect for those who would like to learn the basics of cooking, establish safe skills in the kitchen, build community through the enjoyment of a meal with a group of peers, and learn about food handling & customer service.
