Teens, now is your chance! We just won a grant to explore culture through food and we need you! The plan is to share food from various cultures and look at how that food was influenced by other cultures. We’ll cook, we’ll eat, we’ll do related projects. This is a youth-led program so you will have a lot of say in how it goes. You will also learn leadership skills and help the library be a better place for Norristown Area teens.
Here are the facts:
Regular attendance is required 2x a month on Wednesday afternoons/evenings (4:30-6pm). First meeting is Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 4:30-6pm. We will also meet 12/4 and 12/18. In 2025 we will meet on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month until the end of the school year.
We’ll meet at the library, but the library will be moving to the PennDot building up Markley Street (behind the Royal Farms Store) later in the winter. You will have to get there for the last 3-4 months. It is 9/10th of a mile away from our current location on Powell Street.
There is no cost to you thanks to a grant from PA Humanities. All the food and supplies will be provided.
We hope you will share recipes from your house with us, but it is not required.
Ages 12-18.

This is a great activity to put on college applications and resumes, btw.
