Youth Food Leaders: Inspiring Youth Food Leaders

The Youth Food Leaders Program supports youth leadership in food initiatives across Nova Scotia. 

When young people have opportunities to engage in experiential learning around food, this can influence the development of healthy habits and help to nurture positive relationships with food. The Youth Food Leaders Program teaches youth important food skills related to cooking, growing food, food safety, and more. 

Through this program, young people learn skills and confidence to support individual, family and community health, and learn about leadership opportunities from engaging in food projects in their community, to careers in food, to advocacy. Nourish Nova Scotia works directly with youth to develop unique versions of the Youth Food Leaders program in community spaces. We  build capacity for youth-serving organizations to deliver the Youth Food Leaders program within their unique geographies and contexts.
