Cooperative Extension is the arm of the
University of Georgia that brings
research-based information from the
university to all areas of the state.
Extension Agents in county offices
develop educational programs on
agriculture, environment, community
and economic development, family and
consumer science, and youth
development.
Our mission is to extend lifelong learning
to Georgia citizens through unbiased,
research-based education in agriculture, the
environment, communities, youth and
families.
