Almost 10 years of teaching kiddos to cook in San Francisco, and we’ve got some serious pros in our community. This year we are inviting Artistas ages 12-16 to apply for our culinary leadership counselor in training (CIT) program. Previous attendance at our camps or school programs is a perk but not required.

This fun and innovative program has a limited number of spots available in each camp session. Culinary Artistas is looking for applicants who love cooking and also a have desire to be a mentor to younger children during camp. Applicants will be considered for preferred dates on a first come first served basis and an application to the program does not guarantee acceptance.

Please be sure to fill out the application linked below first before signing up here.
