What is this partnership about?
By partnering with Taste N See, you are investing in the future of vulnerable young people and creating meaningful opportunities for them to learn, grow and discover their potential. Through safe, supportive and hands-on cooking programs, they can develop practical cooking and life skills, build confidence and independence, discover their strengths, and develop a sense of purpose for their future.
Who Can Partner With Us?
Our current partnerships focus on working alongside organisations that support children and young people who are living in, or transitioning from, out-of-home care, including kinship, foster and residential care.
We also welcome corporate sponsorships and program partnerships from organisations that want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
Your organisation can sponsor a group of young people to participate in a Taste N See cooking program, helping cover program costs and ingredients so they can enjoy a hands-on experience while developing practical cooking and life skills.
A sponsored program could include:
One-off cooking workshops – fun, hands-on sessions focused on cooking, confidence and teamwork.
School holiday programs – fun, hands-on holiday sessions where young people learn to bake and cook while creating positive experiences together.
Multi-week Porgrams – progressive learning in cooking, food safety and handling, teamwork and life skills, with opportunities to obtain a food safety certificate.
Cooking for someone special – preparing something meaningful for a parent, carer, mentor or someone important to them.
Programs can be customised to suit the young people and the goals of each organisation.
There are also opportunities for individuals and organisations to contribute their time and skills. Volunteers can support Taste N See by:
Mentoring or teaching young participants during cooking programs and workshops
Helping with food preparation and packaging
Supporting community events and activities
Assisting with administration and behind-the-scenes tas
