Because families of citizen-soldiers-men and women in the National Guard and Reserves-are widely dispersed within civilian communities, their access to military programs and resources is more complicated than that of families of active military members living on or near a base.

Family scientists in North Carolina received funding from the Healthy Marriage Initiative to strengthen citizen-soldier families by facilitating a partnership between family and consumer sciences agents and family assistance personnel fr...

I was looking at my calendar this week and noticed it has been two years since I came to Prince George County as the Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension agent.

The Erie County budget is once again threatening the extinction of 4-H in Erie County. Many people are unaware that Cornell Cooperative Extension of Erie County is the "parent" of 4-H, and without it, there is no 4-H.
We went through this in 2004. Cornell Cooperative Extension of New York bailed us out. It gave us a loan to keep a skeleton crew in place, and get us through the crisis.
