From energy conservation to raising better tomatoes to helping youngsters develop self-esteem, Volusia County's Extension Service offers a wealth of practical information for today’s families.
Through a partnership between Volusia County, the University of Florida and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Extension Service can provide assistance with such community issues as water conservation, environmental protection, family health and nutrition, youth development and economic stability for Volusia's commercial agricultural enterprises.
The Extension Service actually is an off-campus educational branch of the University of Florida. Extension agents, who serve as the county's "teachers," reach more than 2 million people each year through presentations, telephone calls, lab diagnoses, pamphlets and other outreach programs.
This "real life" learning approach was established 86 years ago by the federal Smith-Lever Act, and is one of the world's largest informal education and developmental organizations.
