College Participants Learn Lifelong Skills
“SNAP-Ed plays a vital role in transforming the health and well-being of college students across California. At a time when food insecurity and chronic stress are rising on our campuses, SNAP-Ed funding enables us to create supportive environments where students can access nutritious food, engage in wellness education, and build lifelong habits that support both academic success and long-term health. What sets our program apart is how it empowers college students as peer educators, interns, and community leaders—providing them with hands-on experience, professional development, and the skills needed to shape a healthier future. Investing in SNAP-Ed isn’t just about supporting student wellness today—it’s about cultivating the public health workforce of tomorrow.”
