Quarterly Update

To kickstart 2020, DFOY Cooks had a blast making chicken soup! On the right, Jael Reyes, an 8th-grade participant who has been with DFOY for two years, serves the soup she created with her peers. Just in time to fight away colds!

Make sure you check out our event calendar below.

    We want to congratulate Adonis and Alexander for being named our Participant Agents of Change! Adonis and Alexander, had a blast getting creative during pizza-making on our recent live DFOY Cooks session. Their end product looked great and tasted even better.
