As a a result of their EFNEP experience, participants:

Improve decision-making skills;
Adopt healthy eating behaviors;
Increase their daily physical activity; and
Become more self-reliant

EFNEP youth curriculum is designed to address essential and core standards for each grade.

Lesson’s are developed to positively affect 5 key health behaviors:

Improve the youth’s ability to select low-cost nutritious meals for meals and snacks;
Improve food preparation and food safety practices to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses; and
Increase daily physical activity
