Did You Know?

The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) helps limited-resource families and youth in Little Falls, Ringwood, Wayne and throughout New Jersey improve their eating behaviors and instill other personal development skills through behaviorally focused nutrition education. The program is administered by Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) Cooperative Extension, and is supported by USDA's CSREES Smith-Lever funds. EFNEP programming in New Jersey follows the USDA's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) teaching model, i.e., it provides nutrition education through paraprofessionals (Community Assistants) who are peer educators, indigenous to the target population.  The EENEP has employed approximately 22 educators to disseminate the nutrition education lessons; and 446 volunteers assisting in programmatic delivery. Youth programming, in New Jersey has the same requirements as adult programming, with two exceptions. Classes can contain up to 25 children per Community Assistant in pre-organized youth groups.
