On November 15, 2023, USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and the Office of Head Start hosted a 90-minute webinar to connect local Head Start programs, state Head Start Collaboration Office Directors, Cooperative Extension specialists, and NIFA grantees to promote health and wellness among expectant families, young children (newborn to age 5 years) and their families, and Head Start staff.
The panel explored how Head Start programs, researchers, Extension specialists, and community stakeholders partner to create healthy families and communities. Please direct any questions to Courtenay Simmons at Courtenay.simmons@usda.gov.
