AAMU Extension Health & Nutrition Nutrition education for youth & adults, making nutrition easy, tasty & affordable.

Urban SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - Education) is a nutrition education program that is implemented through Alabama Extension at Alabama A&M University. The program is co-funded by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the SNAP Division of The Alabama Department of Human Resources under the umbrella of the Food and Nutrition Service-United States Department of Agricul

ture. The mission of USNAP-Ed is to empower limited resource families to make wise food choices, to select and prepare safe foods, and to consume a nutrient dense diet of healthy foods. USNAP-Ed is taught by Extension Agent Assistants in groups and in some instances individual sessions. USNAP-Ed targets residents of public housing facilities, youth in after school programs, and seniors citizens throughout Alabama's metropolitan areas. The Alabama Cooperative Extension System (Alabama A&M University and Auburn University) is an equal opportunity educator, employer, and provider.
