I am pleased that LifeTown has created a new program called Kitchen of Life to help build resilience and strengthen students’ interpersonal skills. I have visited LifeTown and have seen first-hand the valuable impact of the program. With the new Kitchen of Life program, students will expand their knowledge by not only creating meals and learning about health and nutrition, but by learning about decision-making, independence, and empathy. This hands-on, interactive experience will spark both traditional learning and critical soft skills. These skills will help students live up to their God-given potential and truly succeed throughout their lives.
