Extension Service In Guilford County

Who We Are

We are county agents, professors, scientists, and volunteers working together to improve the quality of life in Guilford County and North Carolina. The key components of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service's mission are to teach the public how to:

ensure the sustainability of agriculture, forestry, and a safe food supply
strengthen the economic and social structure of families
encourages the economic and social development of communities
protect and improve the environment
help people address problems through public policy education

Over 125 lay leaders comprise the Extension Advisory Leadership System in Guilford County. These volunteers keep Extension professionals aware of local issues and needs so we can design our educational outreach accordingly.

We receive financial support from three levels of government -- federal, state and county -- and from private financial sources. The Extension Service also works with other agencies and receives support from agri-business, industry, foundations and individuals.

North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T State University commit themselves to positive action to secure equal opportunity regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability. In addition, the two Universities welcome all persons without regard to sexual orientation.
