COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE

The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service is an out-of-school approach to extend the technology and research of North Carolina State University and A&T State University. It is cooperatively funded and managed by the county, state, and federal governments, providing information on subjects such as agriculture, home economics, youth, and community and rural development. Professional staff address topics including canning, gardening, weed and insect control, lawn and tree care, beef cattle management, financial management, nutrition, leadership development, and youth development. 4-H activities are available through clubs, camps, and special interest activities.
