Illinois Nutrition Education Programs' educational classes and series help individuals and families by sharing solutions they can use to make healthier choices. In addition, professional development and partnerships help volunteer or staff teams gain knowledge and skills to promote healthier choices.

WORK WITH US

Why should your school or organization work with Illinois Nutrition Education Programs? Because what we do makes a difference in the lives of limited-resource Illinois families and their communities.

• Children who participate prefer healthier foods and beverages, improve their cooking skills, and are more physically active
• 6 in 10 adults who attend short, interactive educational sessions say they will make a healthy change within one week

Our educational classes and series help families by providing solutions they can use to make healthier choices in their daily lives. In addition, our professional development and partnerships can help your volunteer or staff teams gain knowledge and skills to promote healthier choices to families that you work with and serve.
