In April, youthLEADarts Lismore got together and explored leadership through cooking with Community Chef Lesley McDuff and youthLEADarts program mentor Melanie McDuff. Everyone had a role in baking cookies and making goulash. We had to listen to Chef Lesley, support others at they tried new activities and learned their way around the tools of a kitchen, complete the task (because we were all hungry) and include everyone in a meal made by many hands.
