Keep reading for an update from the Young Chefs Club of Korea:

On the last day of March, there was a significant moment for the Young Chefs Club of Korea (YCK). 

In fact, we had been planning this volunteer activity for a long time.  There were moments when our motivation waned, and we had to postpone our plans due to COVID-19. However, we finally began.

Since August 2015, the YCK has been organizing various activities, including free mentoring seminars for young chefs member every month (excluding the COVID-19 period), as well as pop-up restaurants, farm tour, competition participation, team gatherings outing, and year-end events. However, one day, we decided to embark on volunteer activities for others, not just chefs, for simple reasons.

Let’s spread the word that chefs who benefit from support from senior in the industry and from world-renowned brand companies can also have a positive impact on others. Even if they are โ€œYOUNGโ€ chefs.

As a result, we started our first volunteer activity at a childcare center in a city other than Seoul, and we decided to maintain the relationship thereafter. 

Our goal is not only to provide delicious food but also to help friends who want to experience and learn about cooking. As a result, some friends have expressed interest and contacted us, wanting to participate in our seminar in April.

We’ve found another guiding principle for the Young Chefs of Korea: that even ordinary chefs or individuals can leverage their talents to have a social impact. Thank you to everyone who showed interest and support for this event. Special thanks to “Nestlรฉ Professional Korea” for always being with the YCK.

– Jake Kim, Korea Chefs Association, Vice President and Young Chefs Club of Korea, Founder & Chairman
