NEP Advisors
Best known for cooking demonstrations and sharing food samples and cooking tools, our Nutrition Education Program Advisors (NEPAs) offer FREE lessons for youth in grades 3-12 and adult caregivers of children 18 and younger.
Online or in-person, our practical, hands-on programs can help you make a healthy difference by showing you how to stretch your food dollars; plan fast, easy and healthy meals; increase physical activity; and more. Best of all, our NEPAs come to you. Our programs are available in both English and Spanish, too!
Our NEPAs address the wellness concerns of Hoosiers at every stage of their lives. Check out these inspiring stories from previous participants to see the impact our programs can make on you and your family.
