About the Role
Sticky Fingers Cooking® is seeking passionate part-time Chef Instructors to help cultivate culinary curiosity in kids. As the face of our company, you will interact with children aged 3-18, their parents, and school staff to lead hour-long, healthy, and engaging cooking enrichment classes. You will bring the kitchen to the kids using our proprietary cooking kits, which contain all necessary equipment and tools.
A Day in the Life
Each week, you will teach children about new ingredients and healthy foods from around the world in a dynamic, hands-on environment. Your role involves reviewing weekly class curricula and independently shopping for fresh ingredients to prepare for instruction. You will guide students through basic kitchen skills—including washing, cutting, grating, stirring, and measuring—while also teaching the history, geography, and language behind each recipe. Your goal is to provide the direction and encouragement needed for kids to prepare a new recipe each class, fostering healthy food habits that nourish their bodies and minds for a lifetime.
