Cooperative Extension Service: NC Cooperative Extension
is based at North Carolina's two land grant institutions, NC State
University and NC A&T State University, and in all 100 counties
and on the Cherokee Reservation. North Carolina Cooperative Extension
is an educational partnership helping people put research-based
knowledge to work for economic prosperity, environmental stewardship
and an improved quality of life. The Department of Family and Consumer
Sciences (FCS), a department of the NC Cooperative Extension Service,
provides leadership for local FCS Agents working with families.
Local Agents provide training for childcare providers and public
school teachers, conduct parent workshops, provide informal educational
opportunities for families, and breast-feeding education. The Expanded
Foods and Nutrition Education Program teaches families with limited
incomes how to improve their dietary practices and become more effective
managers of available resources. NC Cooperative Extension Service
is the lead partner in implementing Color Me Healthy, the nutrition
and physical activity curriculum that is part of the HWI pilot intervention.
