Cooperative Extension offers citizens access to University programs primarily in the areas of agriculture and natural resources; environmental horticulture; nutrition, family, and consumer science; and youth development (4-H). Our purpose is to help groups and individuals solve problems and issues and to enrich their lives through educational programs, and disseminate useful information. For over 75 years, we have played a critical role in keeping Ventura County's number one industry, agriculture, viable and healthy. Thousands of young people have gone through our 4-H Youth Program and have become productive citizens and leaders in our communities. Many others have benefited from our educational programs in nutrition, family, and consumer science. We have also provided assistance to governmental agencies and community organizations in dealing with difficult environmental issues. Instead of teaching students in University classrooms, Cooperative Extension advisors work directly with people in their communities. We believe in diversity and our programs are available to all without discrimination.
