Community Nutrition Education Programs
Our Mission
The mission of Community Nutrition Education Programs (CNEP) is to educate and empower limited-resource Oklahomans to improve nutrition and physical
activity behaviors. CNEP’s vision is to improve the health of Oklahomans. In 2021,
CNEP had 10,707 program participants, 4,607 program graduates, 3,604 youth reached
by the Virtual Farm to You exhibit and 10,324 individuals impacted by community grant
projects.
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 the 2022
