  • About Kids in the Kitchen

    This ongoing initiative is focused on educating children and their families about nutrition and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle through education, cooking demonstrations and fitness workshops.


    Opportunity is delighted to be part of the Junior League of the Palm Beaches Kids in the Kitchen Community Impact program. We will be kicking off this monthly nutritional/easy meals and fun exercises workshop on Friday, September 25, 2020. This monthly series will run from September – December 2020, and we hope that it will be a great family activity for all. 


    Monthly recipes and videos will be posted to this page for your enjoyment.


    The Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. and most of its member Leagues are ardent 

    supporters of the fight against childhood obesity. To combat the problem, the organization believes it is necessary to educate children and their families about nutrition and fitness via hands-on initiatives such as 

    its Kids in the Kitchen program. The initiative is grounded in the belief that children (and families) empowered with the knowledge of how to feed and exercise their bodies will be less likely to become obese and subsequently suffer many associated health risks.
