Our Impact
Making A Difference in Our County
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension is working hard for its constituents. The following are examples of Extension’s impact in the county over the past year.
We strengthen families through nutrition, school readiness,and empowering youth. Our nutrition education program taught 97% of families to eat more fruits and vegetables. Through in-home visits, 157 families have learned developmental milestones, getting baby ready for school. One mom shared, “My parent educator changed our life.” Another learned to put “my parenting skills into practice daily to make a big impact.” Our 4-H program grew 105%. For one fourth grader, “4-H helps me care more for my health.” A fifth grader and budding leader says, “I get to serve as 4-H reporter for my class. I hope to succeed in 4-H.”
