Chef Assistants
The Sylvia Center Chef Assistants play a crucial role in supporting Chef Instructors in delivering effective, engaging experiences for our students. They are responsible for much of the class preparation and will assist the chef in engaging and educating the students. Chef Assistants have the opportunity to inspire children to try new foods and learn new life skills, giving them encouraging feedback and gently helping those students who are struggling with new concepts or tasks.
