Tashara M. Leak, associate professor and associate dean of Cornell Human Ecology in New York City, received a stop-work order in early May for a $990,000, five-year grant. The grant funded the Advanced Cooking Education (ACE) 4-H After School Club. The program was designed as a prototype for a national 4-H program aimed at helping young people learn to feed themselves and their families nutritiously while exploring potential career paths in agriculture, food, and nutrition.

The program was structured to run for 12 weeks and offered after-school activities for 7th and 8th graders at New York City schools. The focus was on schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families, where nutritious eating remains a challenge.
