Greater Boston Region — Local Happenings

Working with our collaborators, we will be providing nutrition education workshops to adults at several sites across the Boston area. We are also providing nutrition education workshops in connection with our school partners throughout the school year.  Working with teachers in each school, we will be providing 4-6 week series on nutrition in the classroom.
