Community Nutrition Education Programs
Our Mission
The mission of Community Nutrition Education Programs (CNEP) is to educate and empower limited-resource Oklahomans to improve their nutrition, physical activity, and food safety practices, while also helping them stretch their food dollars, ultimately enhancing their overall health. Each year, we reach thousands of participants through our four nutrition education programs.
What We Do
Trained paraprofessionals and OSU Extension Educators deliver research-based, hands-on learning experiences for youth and adults about diet quality, food safety, physical activity, food security and food resource management. CNEP also supports communities across the state financially to implement policy, systems and environmental changes. By providing applicable education and changing the environment where people eat, learn, live, play, shop and work, CNEP is improving the lives of Oklahomans. View our impact reports below.
