Agricultural Center / Extension Services
Who We Are
The Cooperative Extension Service is nationwide and a partnership between state universities, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and county governments. The Cooperative Extension Service is administered by the University of Florida and St. Johns County Commissioners provide support for local faculty, staff and facilities.
What We Do
The Cooperative Extension Service conducts educational programs in agriculture, horticulture, family and consumer sciences, marine interest, and 4-H youth development (Click here to see a short 4-H video). Locally-based advisory committees assure that programs are designed to meet community needs. Volunteer training is strongly emphasized in our programs to enable us to reach more of the county's population.
