Pilot Light Chefs Fund

About

The Pilot Light Food Education Standards have been developed, in collaboration with community and education stakeholders, to further the important mission of deploying and defining food education to schools throughout Chicago and beyond. In alignment with the Standards, Pilot Light has developed a cohesive model for classroom food education, integrating food into traditional subjects like math, reading, history, and science. Pilot Light’s community of teachers builds on students’ knowledge and experiences of and with food through the lessons teachers are already teaching. Simultaneously, students are also learning about food and how it connects us to ourselves, our communities, and our world, while advocating for an equitable future.

Pilot Light

Pilot Light's enduring mission is to support students as they learn and advocate for informed choices by bridging the lessons they learn in their classrooms to the foods on their lunch trays, at home, and in their communities. Through our cohesive model for classroom food education, we create and deliver standards-aligned food education lessons that are integrated into instruction in traditional subjects like math, reading, history, and science. With our support, Pilot Light’s community of teachers uses food to support effective and engaging learning in the classroom. Our model builds on students’ knowledge of and experiences with food to demonstrate how food connects us to each other, our communities, and our world, while advancing awareness of food systems and advocating for food equity.
