The Philadelphia EFNEP Volunteer Program

The article describes Philadelphia EFNEP's attempt to expand programming and support their Nutrition Education Advisors through a new volunteer training program. The design of this program is outlined and results of 1995's first training session are discussed. Results suggest that a systematic approach to volunteer training can be effective, but not without the efforts of the entire EFNEP team, especially EFNEP Nutrition Education Advisors themselves.
