NC Cooperative Extension in Cabarrus County is seeking an Extension EFNEP Program Assistant. The Extension EFNEP Program Assistant (PA) serves as an employee of NC Cooperative Extension and NC State University and delivers nutrition education to limited-resource adults, families, and school-aged youth who meet federal eligibility requirements for participation in the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program ( EFNEP ).
