Celebrating Our Graduating Teen Chefs!

Thank You, Ceres' Teens

Haley

Rowan and Josie

Summer is a time of big transitions in our kitchens and garden, as some of our teen volunteers graduate from high school and prepare to hang up their aprons and chef coats, or put away their gardening shears, and move on to their next adventures.

Take a look at the list below, and celebrate these incredible, caring youth and all that they've given to our community through their heartfelt work at Ceres.

We are grateful to have known and worked with each one of them!

In gratitude,

Cathryn Couch
