Today we went to the extension office. I didnt even realize we had one in the area. Brittany Pangburn and Joyce Shriner were the two women who spoke to us today. They both work for the etension office. Brittany is the 4H- program assistant which is under the extension educator who is Joyce. Brittany oversees 4-H programs. 4-H program stands for Head, Hands, Health and Heart. It is for youth of many different bacground to essentially socialize. There are three branches agriculture/natural resources, 4-H, and family and consumer sciences. Basically the kids get involved in projects and events in order for them to learn about new areas. The funding comes from multiple sources. It comes from the County Commissioner, some percentage from OSU, some from membership fees, and some from fundraisers. Joycee is the extension educator which is coverad at the federal local and state level. They're hired through Ohio Extension System and aupervised and evaluated by the OSU Extension. The purpose of the Extension is to aid in diffusing among the people of the US, useful and practical information in subjects relating to Agriculture and Home Economics and to encourage application of the same. Joyce also mentioned that FNP program or he Food Nutrition Program where adults who recieve assistance teach FNP and expanded food and nutrition education at the country level.
