Each month the SCC After-School Enrichment program will offer a culinary arts and ceramics curriculum that will connect students to the world by investigating diverse cultural traditions and the common themes that bind us. Through these classes, the Community Center is helping children learn about and celebrate the large and beautiful world we live in!


Students will spend half their time deep diving into the culinary arts with Chef Gerardo by exploring cultural food traditions, learning basic cooking skills, sampling flavor profiles, and understanding the importance of sustainability. The other half of the program will be spent learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay with Margaret Thomas. Instructors will prepare lessons that engage and teach while the children create. It's a wonder to see how proud the children are after they make their creations!


Clay class will focus on the following themes:

January: New Years, celebrations and Martin Luther King, Jr.

February: Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day

March: St. Patrick's Day and Daylight Savings

April: Spring

May: Cinco de Mayo and Mothers Day


Programming is split into two groups depending on the grade.


This after-school program includes 1 culinary class and 1 ceramics class each Thursday.


Drop off at 3:30 PM and pick up at 5:30 PM. The Center is working on a consistent place for drop off and pick up. Until then, you will be notified where to drop off and pick up your child each week.


We also offer a free pick-up service for your kids if you are unable to drop them off after school. Please contact Melissa Agocs, the Youth Program Director, for more information. You can contact her at [email protected].

You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.

If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Since its founding in 1952, the purpose of the Sonoma Community Center has been to build community by offering opportunities for Sonomans to connect, learn, and grow – together. We envision a campus where people of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, language backgrounds, artistic talents, income levels, interests, and more feel not just welcome, but at home. A place where everyone finds something to suit their needs.
