Adults

Through discussions and hands-on experiences, adults in EFNEP learn how to improve the nutritional quality of the meals they serve their families. The learn-by-doing approach gives participants the knowledge and skills they need to select, prepare, and store healthful foods and handle foods safely to prevent food-borne illness. Participants also learn how to get the most value for their food dollars.

Nutrition educators, who come from the target communities, deliver EFNEP as a series of seven lessons. Participants receive a graduation certificate upon completing the program. EFNEP programs for adults are located in Brockton, Lawrence, Fall River, Springfield, and Worcester.
