Partnering that Makes a Difference

The Integrated Nutrition Education Program (INEP) is a creative and fun way for kids to learn about healthy eating and physical activity in their classroom and to share what they learn with their families. Most lessons include hands-on cooking activities that teach students how to prepare and taste fruits and vegetables. At INEP we have strong community partnerships with programs whose mission aligns with educating and changing behaviors around healthy eating for low-income families. In addition, we support the education of aspiring health professionals in the area of community outreach, to help get more dedicated individuals into this work. It is important for our organization to partner with the community to strengthen and deepen our health impact on our families.
