Welcome to our annual campaign to find new and thriving Teen Chefs. At Junior Chefs of America, we believe in Reaching Back to Pull Forward the NEXT GENERATION OF CULINARY CHAMPIONS!
To successfully continue our annual event, we need your help. We need both Mentors & Sponsors.
Calling All Chefs
Here’s your chance to mentor a culinary student between the ages of 15-18 years old during their time in class with JCOA. You will help guide them along the way weekly via Zoom & phone calls. The impact you can make on a teen will be everlasting, rewarding, and appreciated by each student.
Meet N Greet Hosted By Hispanic Resource Family Cultural Center & The Cuban Sandwich Festival.
Where: La Teresita Restaurant, 3248 W. Columbus Dr, Tampa, FL
When: June 1, 2023 / 6-8 pm.
Make sure you reserve your spot to see your student graduate: Reserve a Ticket OR Become a Sponsor.
Special thanks to our Meet N Greet sponsors:
Sponsorship Opportunities
With your help, we will continue to maintain the high level of excellence and achievement of previous years. Our aim is to increase awareness to younger chefs each year in the culinary field. Consider your sponsorship as an investment that will help develop the skills necessary to jump start a great career that is both rewarding and greatly admired by all. We all love to eat. When we eat from the best chefs, we can all agree on the level of satisfaction that happens. Your sponsorship funds put our teens closer to their journey of becoming a true chef.
How can you support?
There are several sponsorship levels to choose from, ranging from $10,000 – $250. As a sponsor, you can promote your brand to thousands of social media followers over a period of 8-weeks up until the actual event, as well as be branded at the graduation.
