PENN STATE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION

Winifred McGee and her staff are available with all sorts of information
from a packet containing everything you need to start a small business to
master gardeners with advice on bugs and fertilizers. The mission of
Cooperative Extension "is to
extend informal educational opportunities to the citizens, both youth and
adult of Pennsylvania. Educational programs provide clientele with
information and knowledge of alternative opportunities that will enhance
income-producing skills, improve quality of life, and development leadership
skills."

Cooperative extension is administered by the College of Agricultural
Sciences within the Pennsylvania State University. Educational programs are
based on the latest scientific research findings. Major programs are
carried out in the areas of agriculture and natural resources, family
living, 4-H and youth development, and community development. Cooperative
extension priorities are established on the basis of clientele needs, latest
research information, and legislative mandates.
The scope and breadth of educational programs are dependent upon the
scientific knowledge and expertise available within the college of
Agricultural Sciences and other colleges in the Land Grant institutions.

Support and assistance is provided by volunteers for program planning and
implementation and also for obtaining necessary resources at county,
regional, and state levels.
