Job description

The Delaware Community Center YMCA is looking for a passionate Cooking Instructor to lead fun, hands-on cooking classes for both kids and adults.

In this role, you will:

  • Plan and prepare engaging, age-appropriate cooking lessons and recipes within an assigned program budget
  • Manage class supplies, ingredients, and equipment purchases while staying within budget guidelines
  • Teach weekly classes for children (basic kitchen skills, nutrition, and fun recipes) and adults (home cooking techniques, meal prep, and specialty topics)
  • Set up the kitchen classroom, execute each class safely and smoothly, and clean up afterward
  • Create a welcoming, supportive environment where participants of all ages build confidence in the kitchen
  • Promote healthy eating, food safety, and the joy of cooking

Ideal candidates are engaging, organized, and creative with food. Previous teaching or cooking class experience is a plus, but a passion for food, people, and smart resource management is essential.

If you enjoy sharing your love of cooking while making a positive impact in the community, we'd love to have you on our team!
