“This training was wonderful. It was insightful and engaging – everything that was part of this training had a purpose – nothing was there just to fill time or space. The facilitators were authentic and honest when facilitating and when sharing their own experience with the pilots of this curriculum. I am so excited to put this training into practice one day in my County! THANK YOU!!” – A training participant from Wisconsin SNAP-Ed
