KIN's first- and second-grade nutrition curriculum provides a foundation for food literacy and positive dietary change, while the fifth-grade food sustainability curriculum educates about the link between our food system and the environment. KIN targets the early years of cognitive development to instill lifelong healthy and environmentally conscious habits. Teams of five university volunteer instructors visit local elementary classrooms (in-person or virtually) to teach once a week for seven weeks. Lessons are evidence-based and include interactive visuals, hands-on games, physical activity, and group work. Our university-to-elementary student mentorship exerts a powerful influence on behavior change by making nutrition topics relevant and engaging. This student-run model is an innovative, cost-effective, replicable, and sustainable strategy for maintaining program continuity and shaping youth dietary habits. Our goal is to operate at every major university in the United States and have a lasting impact on public and environmental health outcomes.
