Health and Wellness

Yakima County Extension Health and Wellness Programs

In addition to our SNAP-Ed and Nutrition Education, WSU Extension Educators work with community-based health in the areas of family development, at-risk youth programming, farmworker health, food access, and supporting the health of Latino/Hispanic families through various community partnerships.  If you are interested in an internship or collaboration opportunity please contact the Yakima County Extension office.
