Community MVPs are DC teens building leadership and voice for youth in the food movement, empowering the community to be educated eaters, and teaching the District to cook healthy food, one delicious workshop at a time.
- 8-month program teaches returning Brainfood students how to develop and facilitate hands-on workshops on healthy cooking.
- During the fall participants design workshops and refine their teaching techniques.
- In the spring, participants identify community groups in need of food education resources and schedule times to deliver their workshops at on and off-site locations.
- Participants are also paid for their work as community teachers.

- Participants taught 12 cooking workshops and demos to different groups within the community.
- Some of the groups include: DC Scores, Arcadia Mobile Market, The Fishing School, Mary's Center, and The Literacy Lab.
