Fuel your Future: Adolescent cooking and food literacy project

The goal of the Fuel your Future program was to increase the prevalence of healthy eating behaviours amongst adolescents by increasing access to opportunities to engage interest and develop appropriate knowledge and practical skills.

The program was delivered face-to-face by nutritionists or other trained health professionals through a range of community based settings, such as community groups/venues, school/holiday programs and youth centres.

Nutritionists (or other trained health professionals) co-facilitated the program with youth workers/teachers etc.

The face-to-face components with practical sessions, nutrition theory, and the sharing of a meal were supported by a participant journal, Refuel Your Thinking, and a series of online learning and practical activities.
