The Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program (FSNEP) consists of adult and youth program components and operates in 40 California counties. 

To improve the diet and nutrition-related skills of children from food stamp households, teachers, youth program leaders and other extenders are trained to deliver nutrition education in healthy lifestyles, fruit and vegetable consumption, food safety, and physical activity. The program targets schools and community organizations.

The California Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program is a collaborative effort among the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Food and Consumer Services (USDA/FCS), the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) Food Stamp Bureau, and the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE).  CDSS is responsible for the administration of the Food Stamp Program in California, and UCCE is the statewide arm of the University of California.
