Kids Cook

Kids Cook! is built around a simple idea: kids deserve the chance to cook, taste, learn, and feel confident around food. If that matters to you too, please consider getting involved. Donations and volunteers both make a real difference.

Looking for a few family-friendly things to do around Albuquerque this week? We pulled together some local options that are free or low-cost, easy to check out, and good for getting kids out into the community. Take a look at the list and see what works for your family.

If you’ve been looking for a practical way to support kids and families in Albuquerque, this is a good place to start. Kids Cook! needs community support to keep this work going. Donate if you can, volunteer if you have time, and help us keep food education active and accessible.

Join Kids Cook! at Blue Door Neighborhood Center on Tuesday, June 16 from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. This free family class brings together cooking, nutrition, health, and the simple joy of making food together. We love classes like this because kids get to use their hands, ask questions, taste, learn, and leave feeling proud of what they made. Sign up through our website.

Looking for a family activity that is actually hands-on? Our July First Friday Night is happening Friday, July 10 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM.

Need a simple family plan this week? We’ve got a few local Albuquerque events to share. These are the kinds of things we like to pass along because kids deserve chances to explore, learn, move around, and be part of what’s happening in their city.

Summer is a great time for kids to get in the kitchen

Kids Cook! is hosting a free 3-day cooking camp with Presbyterian Community Health from June 15 to June 17. Each morning, kids will cook, learn, taste, and build skills they can bring home.

This is the kind of class kids and parents both love: hands-on, welcoming, practical, and fun. Kids get to make real food, ask questions, and try things together.

Sign ups are open on our website and at the link in our bio.
