During the 2021year, EFNEP enrolled participants throughout Bossier Parish. One professional and two paraprofessionals taught EFNEP classes at a variety of locations. Our target audience includes limited-resource individuals. Participants included youth grades Kindergarten through 12^thgrade and adults who are raising youth. Participants completed enrollment and exit surveys which included questions to assess nutrition knowledge and behavior changes. Due to COVID-19 and social distancing, lessons were available in-person and virtually.
