OUR VISION

KIN's strength lies in its cost-effective, replicable, scalable, and sustainable student-led model. Our approach mobilizes university student volunteers across the country to inspire lasting, healthy eating habits in youth using a three-pillar intervention: education, food access, and family engagement.

These pillars work in unison to equip children with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed dietary choices and champion their health as they grow.

EDUCATION

KIN’s elementary nutrition curriculum provides a foundation for food literacy and lifelong healthy eating habits. Teams of five university student KINstructors visit local elementary classrooms to teach once a week for seven weeks. KIN’s evidence-based peer-to-peer lessons incorporate diverse learning strategies through interactive visuals, games, physical activities, personal reflection, group work, and hands-on meal assembly. Additionally, KIN offers teachers the opportunity to extend the program with focused topics such as fiber, legumes, and food waste.
