FNEC

Strategic Plan for FY 2008-2013

 

Our Vision

Healthy people; food secure communities.

 

Our Mission

Food and Nutrition Education in Communities promotes positive nutrition practices, encouraging wise use of personal and environmental resources, securing access to nutritious and safe food, and fostering food secure communities through research- and issue-based programming with a focus on low-income individuals and families.

 

Our Values

Respect                 Similarities and differences in life experience among staff and participants are considered and appreciated.

 

Diversity                Differences in ethnicity and life experiences among target audience and staff are valued and respected.

 

 Learner-centered    Learner needs and styles are the basis of program content and delivery.  Building on the strengths and past experiences of learners results in a richer learning experience.

 

Empowerment         Staff and participants are encouraged through recognized success, improved self-esteem, continuing educational opportunities and professional advancement to make positive changes in their personal lives and communities.

 

Wellness                Physical and emotional health, including optimal nutritional health, chronic disease prevention, and food safety promotion is emphasized.

 

Integration             Collaboration is emphasized among staff at all levels and other departments within CCE, in the counties, the NYC program and on campus. Community partners, including the target audience and other service providers, are included in collaboration activities. 

 

Program Goals

Goal 1       Address the educational needs of the target audience through accurate assessment, development, and delivery of integrated, research-based, audience-appropriate learning experiences. 

 

Goal 2        Support county and regional nutrition staff by promoting and providing relevant, high-quality professional development opportunities and training materials to all staff, so as to insure excellence in program delivery and to reinforce the importance of lifelong learning.

 

Goal 3        Support collaboration and cooperation among campus, NYC and county educators, and with outside organizations in order to provide integrated, research-based, quality Extension programming.

 

Goal 4        Develop research in support of education, outreach, and critical issues of delivering nutrition education to low income audiences.
