GENYOUth

From game-day delights to helping fuel students for success, Chef Steven Dominguez brings his winning culinary ways to support GENYOUth's mission! 🥣✨

Lead Research Chef at PepsiCo and a Taste of the NFL Chef, Steven recently brought his expertise & creativity to our National Youth Council Summit, providing a hands-on experience featuring Quaker overnight oats. He blended nutrition science with kitchen skills, teaching students the important role nutrition plays in fueling their bodies for success. Students even got to make their own personalized overnight oats to enjoy the next day for breakfast.

Chef Steven, alongside our partners at PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation, are proud supporters of GENYOUth — and we're for their continued commitment to our mission to help and ensure every child is nourished, empowered, and ready to thrive. 💚

Creating a school culture of wellness is essential to student success.📚

Thank you to the Education Commission of the States for featuring student perspectives at the National Forum on Education Policy. GENYOUth's Laura Hatch; Ralston, NE School Superintendent Jason Buckingham; and GENYOUth National Youth Council members Seunfunmi and Arjun joined the conversation, sharing how student voice, nutrition, physical activity, and well-being are critical to helping students attend and stay engaged in school.

By connecting GENYOUth’s research with the perspectives of students, we can help shape policies that create healthier school environments where every student has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and succeed. 🌟
