Education & Programs

Nutrition Education

Nutrition Education activities must reinforce healthy eating habits through nutrition education and other healthy eating activities, such as cooking classes, gardening projects, and cultural exploration of foods. Nutrition education resources are available to programs through The Children’s Trust’s designated food service provider at no cost.

Family Education

Family engagement activities extend meaningful interactions between programs and families. By creating a welcoming environment, understanding families, youth development programs can help bridge the gap between school and home assisting families as they navigate the educational system, providing parents with information and tools to support their child’s academic and personal success, helping families learn how to best support the learning and development of their child, and understanding families’ needs and refer them to resources and services as appropriate.
