The Sylvia Center is an American, New York-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses on children's nutrition by teaching children and families about healthy eating habits and cooking.[1]

History

[edit]

The Sylvia Center was founded in 2006 Liz Neumark, CEO of the catering company Great Performances and advocate for sustainable agriculture.[2] Named after Neumark's daughter, Sylvia, The Sylvia Center began as a pilot culinary program for children in New York City Housing Authority residents.[2]

The organization's programs include cooking classes, field trips to Katchkie Farm (anorganic farm and a partner of The Sylvia Center),[3] and gardening classes for children and families. The programs are offered in New York City through NYCHA community centers as well as Upstate New York (Kinderhook and Columbia County).[1]
