Engaging with Older Youth

This presentation will engage participants and anchor them to the topic as they are challenged to put themselves into their “middle school mindset”. Challenges and considerations specific to engaging with the middle school audience to teach EFNEP programs will be discussed, including the use of interactive tools. NH EFNEP best practices to successfully address and overcome potential challenges and relate to this unique audience will also be reflected on. Participants will learn various approaches to working with and relating to middle schoolers effectively. Information about the choice to implement the evidence based EatFit curriculum in NH will be shared, as well as how the use of this curriculum has positively affected NH EFNEP impacts. Impacts include facilitating a large increase in numbers of 6-8th grade participants, improvements in their food and physical activity behaviors, and enthusiastic support from community partners for the program.

Older Youth Evaluation Committee Update

The EFNEP Older Youth Evaluation Committee was formed in 2018 with the charge of revising the behavioral indicators for EFNEP youth participants in grades 6-12. Since then, EFNEP coordinators, supervisors, and evaluators from 19 states and territories have come together to review literature, solicit feedback from other coordinators and frontline staff, develop revised indicators, and conduct preliminary testing. In this brief committee update, we will provide an overview of the committee’s work so far, highlight changes to indicators we are testing, and discuss future directions for question testing and a proposed timeline for the rollout of the revised EFNEP 6th-12th Grade Survey.

Working with Adult Audiences: Recruiting Culturally and Linguistically Diverse EFNEP Audiences

Tennessee ranks 43rd for poverty in the nation with 13.9% of people below the poverty threshold. Additionally, 88.8% of people below poverty identify as non-white making the majority of EFNEP’s target population racial minorities. Moreover, 32.7% of children who speak a language other than English at home are in poverty in the US. EFNEP programs must provide materials and resources that are linguistically accessible for all qualifying communities.
To meet this need, University of Tennessee EFNEP staff created a cookbook of recipes from many countries. Staff invited Tennesseans to submit recipes representing their cultures. Recipes were tested and vetted for ease, cost, availability of ingredients, nutritional quality and palatability. Fourteen recipes from six global regions were selected and included in both English and the primary language of the country of origin. A total of 2,225 cookbooks were distributed throughout Tennessee. Surveys of paraprofessionals indicated that 82% found the cookbooks valuable for their programs and 71% were likely to use the publication with CALD EFNEP audiences in their counties.
Ideas for how to use the cookbook to engage CALD audiences will be discussed as well as how to develop other materials and teaching methods to work effectively with diverse groups.
