16 x 16 (virtual)

16 x 16 teaches youth to make 8 full meals (each with 2 components) by the time they're 16. 

IN THIS VERSION OF 16X16, TEENS WILL MAKE ENOUGH DINNER EACH WEEK FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

16 x16 was inspired (and developed with permission) by Ottawa's Dr. Yoni Freedhoff (https://www.facebook.com/WeightyMatters/) and his wife who conduct a similar program at home for their own kids.

Each week, O-YA Youth Workers will pack up the ingredients necessary for a delicious creation and participants will pick up their kits from O-YA on Monday evenings. Then, we meet on Zoom from our own kitchens and cook together! Youth Workers will walk you through instructions for your meals!
Here are the details:

Dates: Wednesday, January 12, 19, 26, February 2, 9, 16, 23 and March 2
Time: 5:30 pm - 7 pm
Ages: 12 - 16
