Queer Youth Nutrition
Nutrition Information for Queer Youth
About – Our Queer Youth Nutrition (QYN) program is an exciting new initiative for LGBT+ identifying youth (ages 13-24) who live, work, or attend school in Detroit to broaden their cooking/nutrition knowledge and gather to break bread with their peers.
The program operates on a monthly schedule and consists of a Nutrition Class, Cooking Class, and two “Family Dinners” – our group meal and sober gathering space. It is 100% free for qualifying participants and we can assist with transportation for those who are unable to attend without assistance. All sessions take place at Corktown Health (1726 Howard) in Detroit typically each Thursday (refer to calendar for any changes) from 6:00-8:00PM.
