Oklahoma ranks 50th in overall child health including 46th in overweight and obese youth.
Healthy behaviors of children are associated with higher academic achievement. The
CNEP Youth Program includes a variety of nutrition education offerings which focus
on improving healthy behaviors of Oklahoma children. Our goal is to give our youth
the best chance at academic success while also encouraging healthy habits they can
use for the rest of their lives.
Through partnerships and collaboration, the CNEP Youth Program reaches approximately
40,000 youth each year across the state of Oklahoma. The age-appropriate, researched-based
nutrition curriculum focuses on flagship health issues directly affecting our Oklahoma
youth. From topics about the food groups to their digestion system to reading food
labels and food safety, children learn in an interactive environment while having
fun.
