Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and Family Nutrition Program (FNP) staff work with pregnant teens, families with young children, and youth. Program staff meet with participants one-on-one and in small groups.
Lessons are selected depending on the needs and wants of the participants. The lessons include activities, worksheets, games, and cooking.
Participants learn how to:
- Budget their food dollars
- Save time and money by planning meals
- Stay healthy by making wise food choices
- Keep food safe to eat
- Feed their children
- Increase physical activity
- Prepare healthy snacks
Families and youth strengthen communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills through the lessons. These life skills help participants obtain employment and nurture family relationships.
