BAKERSFIELD, Mo.- Twenty-seven fifth grade students at Bakersfield Elementary are about to embark on a journey. This journey will take them down a multi-disciplinary path towards nutrition education, publications, hands-on applications, and leadership. Thanks to a grant through Missouri 4-H, Bakersfield fifth graders will soon become 4-H SNAC club members. 4-H Student Nutrition Advisory Council (SNAC) initiative is a program developed with the University of Missouri Extension’s Family Nutrition Education Program and Missouri 4-H. The club, which has no cost to members, focuses on teaching nutrition along with leadership and citizenship skills that are central to 4-H. SNAC clubs across Missouri are being established to reach new youth and families through partnerships with nutrition education programs, schools, and other nutrition education programs for underserved youth. The club will meet in school with the local nutrition educator serving as the club leader.
