Chefs for Kids & UNR Extension: Nutrition Education Through Community Partnerships
Chefs for Kids & UNR Extension had a mission to alleviate malnutrition and hunger in children through education and awareness. Through partnerships with nutrition educators, local chefs, and companies, this extension-led model delivers joyful, hands-on learning using the "Eating the Rainbow" approach, in- and out-of-school lessons, take-home produce, and kid-friendly recipes that build healthy habits and strong community connections.
- Identify hands-on strategies that boost kids’ fruit and vegetable intake.
- Learn to build lasting partnerships with chefs, schools, and nonprofits.
- Apply tastings, mini markets, and take-home tools beyond the classroom.
