Junior League of Dallas Kids in the Kitchen sponsored by UnitedHealthcare

As part of its 2010 initiatives, JLD continues its exciting program, Kids in the Kitchen, with an expanded number of locations and sponsorship by UnitedHealthcare. Kids in the Kitchen is a nationally recognized health education program that empowers youth to learn the preparation of healthy meals and educates them and their parents regarding nutrition and healthy choices. In partnership with area YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas branches, the JLD will work to impact the lives of area children for healthier lifestyles through a hands-on, interactive 12-week program.

The Junior League of Dallas is honored to be participating in Service Learning Adventures in North Texas (SLANT 45).  

SLANT 45 is a community-wide service initiative being organized in conjunction with Super Bowl XLV, which will be played at Cowboys Stadium in February 2011. In addition to putting on a great game, the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee wants to leave a legacy of service and cooperation throughout the Metroplex that will endure long after the game has been played-and that's where we come in!
