“Students are learining things and they don’t even know they are learning!”

Jorge Maldonado, Expanded Learning Opportunities Program Coordinator, Palmdale USD

Partnering with LIFT Enrichment has created a great opportunity for our students. We’ve expanded from 20 kids in K-2, and 20 in our 3-5 program, to 80 kids participating across our campuses. Learning about nutrition and exploring different cultures supports all students and provides endless possibilities.

Santa Ana Unified School District is delighted with the enrichment that LIFT’s (Enrichment) culinary workshops bring to our students. The classes are engaging, fun, and accessible, allowing students to learn essential cooking skills without the need for a kitchen. Feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive—they love cooking alongside skilled chefs.

Afterschool Assistant Director, Santa Ana USD

LIFT Enrichment has been an incredible partner, bringing a vibrant after-school cooking program to our students. Our team has seen the positive impact on students, who eagerly learn to cook in a safe, well-organized environment. They not only develop essential cooking skills but also understand healthy eating habits. The joy on their faces when they sample their creations is priceless.

LIFT Enrichment has solved the issue of engagement with modern students. The hands-on cooking has made a difference with both students and staff overall. I highly recommend this program to any district!

We love Chef Madeleine; she’s super organized, and the students look forward to the class every week! We even want to bring you (LIFT Enrichment) in an extra day.

Chef Cesar was very helpful and engaged with the kids. He showed great patience with all the students. I love how he spoke English and Spanish to the kids during the presentation and how to be safe in the kitchen. The kids loved him!

Our students enjoy cooking classes with LIFT Enrichment! The food is healthy and delicious. We have found that many of our picky eaters try new foods and dishes during class when they are normally reluctant at home. It has encouraged many of our students to use their skills to help with family meal prep.

The after-school LIFT (Enrichment) cooking classes were an incredible experience for our students! They were excited to learn new skills, explore different ingredients, and work together to create delicious meals. The instructors were patient, engaging, and made learning fun and hands-on. Beyond cooking, students gained confidence, teamwork skills, and nutrition knowledge. A fantastic addition to the EPISD after-school program!

Our Reach for the Stars Program has loved the LIFT curriculum over the past few years! The lessons are delicious, easy to make, and spark curiosity. Students learn safety skills, food science, and cooking, gaining confidence each week. The chefs are consistent, relatable, and make classes fun for elementary and middle schoolers. We also love the cookbook and hope families enjoy creating their own dishes at home!
