  • Strengthening the well-being of individuals and families across the lifespan.
  • Becoming responsible citizens and leaders in family, community and work settings.
  • Promoting optimal nutrition and wellness across the lifespan.
  • Managing resources to meet the material needs of individuals and families.

  • Successful life management, employment and career development.
