BGC Hamilton-Halton operates a Lunch and Learn program which offers the opportunity for parents to learn new skills that can be transferred to the workforce and home meal preparation. Within the Lunch and Learn program, parent volunteers assist the cook/facilitator in menu planning, preparation, budgeting, kitchen hygiene and cooking classes. The new skills developed will assist in reducing barriers in their lives within the home and in the workforce. Our Home Management community partners also help assist participants by covering a wide range of other life skill topics by group facilitation and/or one on one support.
In addition, there is the
Sanford Lunch and Learn Parent Education program which helps to address the
needs of newcomers and isolated families in the areas of parent education,
social skills and supports. The Lunch and Learn Parent Education program
provides parents with the opportunity to increase their social
development skills with those in their direct community and receive
parent education opportunities on a variety of topics. Families are welcomed in
to participate in cooking a Family Style meal which they get to enjoy at
the end of the program. This program includes their children's participation
which helps foster children's sense of independence and life long learning
skills. Families prepare and cook a nurtuius meal, share recipes and discuss
healthy eating at many different angles. This is a great opportunity for
families to gain knowledge, confidence and tools for life.
