JSY Curriculum
JSY workshops provide quick and easy recipe demonstrations, taste samples, practical nutrition information for families to use and a free incentive for each participant. JSY nutritionists utilize USDA-approved lesson plans to offer a learner-centered, interactive approach to teaching.
JSY lesson plans address three core SNAP-Ed nutrition topics including:
- Dietary Quality: Improve dietary quality by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables
- Food Safety: Safely handle, prepare and store fruits and vegetables
- Food Resource Management: Enhance efforts to manage resources and shop for fruits and vegetables in a cost-efficient manner
