What Volunteers are Saying

Agency Partnership

As a professional development program designed to meet the needs of the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program and the needs of the UC CalFresh target audience, and because of the time commitment needed to provide classes at locations determined by UC CalFresh, staff from other agencies will not be accepted into the MEET program. Agencies that wish to offer UC CalFresh nutrition education classes are invited to coordinate with UC CalFresh to schedule classes.
