Junior Chef Academy is looking for students to join the 2025 cohort

Applications for the 2025 Junior Chef Academy (JCA) are now open. JCA, which helps students in Indianapolis master the art of cooking and end the cycle of food insecurity, is a free 17-week program for students ages 12 to 15. JCA begins with a 10-week basic skills session in March, followed by a four-week summer session in June and a three-week fall session in September.
