Nutrition Advisory Council
What are NACs?
Are you interested in educating students about the importance of
good nutrition and promoting your school foodservice program? If so,
starting a Nutrition Advisory Council in your school is the way to
go.
Organizing a Nutrition Advisory Council (NAC) in your school
benefits both the students and your school nutrition program. A NAC
serves as a link between students, school foodservice personnel,
administrators and the community. Not only is a NAC a vehicle to
spread the word about the important role good nutrition plays in
students’ lives, but it provides important feedback from students on
what they like – or don’t like – about their school foodservice
program. By involving students with NAC you will reinforce the idea
that school nutrition programs are for them.
You need only 3 ingredients!
- Approximately 10-15 enthusiastic students
- A dedicated school foodservice professional
- Fresh ideas and an active imagination
Council activities are limited only by their members’
imagination. The NAC of the Year competition is an opportunity for
NAC groups from around the country to show how they have helped
increase nutrition awareness in their schools and community.
