Extension Nutrition Programs offer free classes to those on limited incomes -- from kids
to seniors -- and to pregnant and parenting teens regardless of income. The programs'
nutrition, food safety, and food shopping messages have been shown to have major
impacts on the lives of families they reach.
In order to maximize these impacts, we work with other agencies that reach these same
audiences. This collaboration can take many forms, and we are interested in exploring
possibilities with your agency since you target some of the same audiences.
What are the Extension Nutrition Programs?
Colorado State University Cooperative Extension provides nutrition education classes
that specifically target those who are eligible for income-based assistance programs
such as Food Stamps, WIC, Head Start, and Social Service programs. Our two main
programs in this area are FSNEP: the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program, and
EFNEP: the Extension Food and Nutrition Education Program. Both are funded by the
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), administered by Cooperative
Extension, and are known collectively in Colorado as the Extension Nutrition
Programs.
What Do the Extension Nutrition Programs Do?
We teach a series of adult classes that show participants how to:
* choose nutritious foods,
* stretch their food dollars, and
* handle food safely.
The classes are free. They are taught in small groups and are based on interactive
activities and visuals. Timing can generally be arranged to meet local needs and
schedules.

The programs also teach children in fun-filled classes about nutrition and food safety.
These classes are held in Title 1 schools, Head Start centers, Boys and Girls Clubs, and
through many other youth programs.
What Do the Extension Nutrition Programs Accomplish?
We graduate between 2,500 and 3,000 adults per year, and reach more than 10,000 total
individuals in program families. The youth programs reach over 5,000 children from low-
income families.
Extension Nutrition Programs have a strong evaluation system which has shown that as a
result of the classes, adult participants:
* eat a wider variety of foods,
* save an average of$50 per month on their monthly food bill, and
* practice safe food-handling practices.
How Can We Work Together?
Interagency collaboration can take many forms. The following are just a few examples of
cooperation currently taking place.
* Extension Nutrition Programs help agencies by:
- encouraging clients to participate in the agency's other programs,
- participating as members of advisory committees,
- providing education that improves clients' health, saves money, and
raises self-esteem,
-teaching classes at the agency site for participants' convenience,
-teaching classes at times that are convenient for both agencies and
participants.
* Cooperating agencies help Extension Nutrition Programs by:
- referring participants to Extension Nutrition classes,
- providing space in which to prepare food and teach classes,
- providing services such as child care and transportation,
- participating as members of advisory committees,
- donating food for demonstrations or funding for specific program
components.
We can help you attain your goals. You can help us attain ours. And
together we can help meet the needs of people on limited incomes.
The staff working in Extension Nutrition Programs is interested in working with community
agencies in your area. There is no cost involved. If you have adult or youth groups that
would benefit from our programs, or if you see other collaboration possibilities, please
contact the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension office in your area.
We look forward to working with you.
