The New Jersey Healthy Kids Initiative (NJHKI) offers free support for culinary nutrition and food literacy, professional development, consultation, content materials, and guest teaching opportunities. NJHKI builds upon the core values of the Rutgers New Jersey Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health with a focus on health equity and community partnership. By uniting with local families to pinpoint child health needs and explore where they are unmet, the NJHKI can develop a task force to address those needs. See “Food Literacy and Global Citizenship” on Page 28 to learn about an NJHKI-supported program. NJHKI (Grant ID 75084) is funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
