The mission of the UMass Extension Nutrition Education Program (NEP) is to provide individuals, families, and communities with the knowledge and skills to manage their food resources effectively and enjoy healthy foods, and physical activities for longer and more fulfilling lives. Our materials are designed to promote healthy and active lifestyles by helping individuals and families apply the principles of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and Choose MyPlate in their daily lives.
The materials were developed for families and communities who participate in the Nutrition Education Program. If you are interested in having a NEP nutrition educator deliver a nutrition education program in your community, please contact a UMass NEP Extension office closest to you.
