Part of the National Cooperative Extension System
All universities engage in research and teaching, but the nation’s more than 100 land-grant colleges and universities including WVU, have another critical mission: Extension. Extension means reaching out, and along with teaching and research land-grant institutions extend their resources, solving public needs with college or university resources through local programs. With more than 3,000 county offices in the USA, the National Cooperative Extension System is the local front door for many citizens to their state land-grant institutions.
Putting Knowledge to Work!
The West Virginia University Extension Service works to provide solutions
in your community through key programs and resources, including agriculture and
natural resources; 4-H and youth development; food and nutrition; health and
wellness; financial planning; and home gardening. These research-based programs
and services are available to all Webster County residents thanks to the
tremendous support of our community members, local organizations, volunteers
and local partners, including the Board of Education and County Commission.
