NUTRITION EDUCATION REINFORCEMENTS
Guidance for distribution of nutrition education reinforcements
Approved reinforcements are ones supplied by campus and have a nutrition message. Regions are no
longer able to buy and distribute reinforcements locally.
Each region has a limited quantity that must last for the program year. Do not give an item to each
participant for each class they attend. Distribute an item after attendance in a series of classes.
Allow for flexibility. If participants already have an item, give them another choice but make sure the
item/message “matches” the lesson.
Availability of reinforcements vary by region. Contact your regional coordinator about what items are available
in your region.
