Sher’Nae, Kid Power Alumni Parent and Volunteer

“I wanted my children to learn how to cook and to recognize and choose healthy options, and Kid Power introduced my family to different approaches to growing, cooking and enjoying all vegetables. They have been involved with Kid Power for over 11 years and they still value what they’ve learned. Lessons from the program helped them with summer jobs as counselors, to feeding the homeless, to creating their own hot sauce and pickles, to college and career planning. Still today, they enjoy making homemade kale chips and zucchini bread from the Kid Power recipes. I feel lucky to have been involved with a school that provided such a resource. This is why I volunteer today with Kid Power because I want to be able to give back to an organization that gives so much.”
