THE INTERGENERATIONAL
SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAM
(ISBP)

 

The Intergenerational School Breakfast Program (ISBP) pairs mature adult volunteers with Pre-K through 3rd grade children participating in their school breakfast programs.

ISBP volunteers interact with the children by reading books and engaging the children in activities and discussions that promote good nutrition.

The program has a different nutrition topic for each month of the school year.

A variety of nutrition education pamphlets, coloring pages and incentives are provided to the children that participate.
