The Youth Nutrition Education Program (Youth NEP) provides support and resources to pre-school through eigth grade teachers in low-income schools to deliver nutrition and physical activity education in their classrooms.

We offer:

• Training workshops to help with the implementation of nutrition and physical activity education curriculum.
• Resources and tools to support classroom, cafeteria, and school gardening activities.
  

Help students learn to make healthy changes for lifelong benefits!
