What is Chefs Move to Schools
The Chefs Move to Schools program pairs chefs with interested schools
in their communities to work with teachers, parents and school nutrition
professionals to help educate kids about food and nutrition. The goal of
the program is to promote chefs as the catalyst for creating a new
nation of child food advocates and start turning the tide on unhealthy
eating behaviors.
