CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE
FOR YOUTH EDUCATORS: CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE provides nutrition education curricula and activities, staff and parent training, and technical support for qualifying pre-schools, schools, and agencies.
Eating a good diet is important to staying healthy. CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE helps children and adults choose a healthy lifestyle by encouraging good food habits and decision making skills. As part of the UC Cooperative Extension, we're helping build and maintain healthy families and communities.
Improving the health of Californians is important to the future of California. A poor diet can lead to serious health problems. Although California grows the freshest fruits, vegetables and nuts in the country, many people don't eat enough of these nutritious foods.
Conditions are always changing, and the ability to adapt to change is a key to success for people, families, and communities. For more on the UC Cooperative Extension's impact visit UC Delivers.
