UCCE Nutrition Program
We are a nutrition education program that is part of the University of California Cooperative Extension operating in El Dorado, Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties.
Our team of 12 people works out of offices in Placerville, South Lake Tahoe, Sutter Creek, San Andreas, and Sonora.
We teach free classes in local schools, community centers, libraries, and other public locations. Our classes show people how to choose, grow, cook, and enjoy affordable healthy foods, and how to make physical activity a regular and fun part of life. We also work to create environments where it’s easier for people to make healthy choices, by supporting school wellness policies, community and school gardens, walking clubs, and more.
Our mission is to make healthy eating and active living more accessible in the Central Sierra - because good health should be within reach for everyone in our communities.
