Planning Unit: Trigg County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

As a result of participating in the Nutrition Education Program classes, three female participants felt comfortable enough to offer to assist the NEP paraprofessional as leaders in serving breakfast to the staff and parents of the Cadiz Child Development Center. The purpose of the breakfast was reaching out for more participants for the Nutrition classes through publicity and incentives. The breakfast was held at the housing authority community where the Head Start is located.  The director of the Center, used the breakfast to open the Center’s Parent Committee meeting. The NEP paraprofessional spoke to the group and handed out class information. 

The three volunteers had completed all seven of their NEP required lessons with positive improvements, and have continued to volunteer with the NEP paraprofessional at other sites.  Members of this graduated group have also attended Extension cooking and cultural arts classes offered by the FCS agent at the office.
