School Programs

Cultivate A Spirit of Giving and Compassion

At Our Giving Kitchen San Diego (OGKSD) our school programs are designed to teach students about giving and about those less fortunate from a young age. We believe in creating meaningful opportunities for students to learn in a practical way so that they can readily understand the importance of giving back which will encourage them to continue to do so throughout their lives.

No matter the age, we believe it's never too soon to create and encourage a spirit of giving and selflessness. Our programs vary depending on requirement, the student’s age and anticipated learning outcomes. Cooking together breaks down barriers and creates an enriching and fun experience for all students as we connect over OGKSD’s main ingredient…. love.

OGKSD's School Programs Empower Students To:

• Connect and interact with peers in a meaningful way

• Make a tangible difference by giving back to the community together

• Engage in a wider community and connect to growing a community

• Learn about giving, sharing, respect, love, kindness and gratitude

• Understand others, compassion and kindness

• Learn new cooking skills, and have fun

• Demonstrates your school's commitment to social responsibility in a practical way

Our Next Generation is the Future for a Giving Community.

Elementary School

The group loved working together to support underserved families in our local community and can't wait to come back. As one of the students said, "This was the BEST day! I had such a meaningful time putting together healthy meals for those in need and doing it with my friends made it even better."

4th Grader

This field trip was a special experience. There are lots of people who don't have food and are hungry. We learned that when we help others, we also feel

good about ourselves.
