UC CalFresh partners with many school districts in Fresno County. As part of our partnerships, we support and assist school districts in shaping and implementing their school wellness policies. 

Nutrition Education is an essential component of wellness, but in order to truly impact families, creating healthy school environments is also key. School wellness policies can create the infrastructure needed to create healthy school environments.

School wellness policies typically include 8 components of school health. The CDC website outlines these components in detail.
