People in Your Community… Knowledge at Your Doorstep
Welcome to our website! Now Monroe County Extension is literally at your fingertips. Come on in. How can we help you?
Monroe the beautiful… located in extreme southeastern West Virginia in the lower Greenbrier Valley, it is home to a genteel folk still close to their roots in agriculture.
Our office provides many local educational programs to area families, businesses, and communities. We are also your link to other WVU Extension offices, to West Virginia University colleges and offices, and to local programs like Monroe County 4-H. The Monroe County Extension offices are located at the Monroe County Health Center on Health Center Drive.
WVU’s Monroe County Extension office is part of the national land-grant system. Each office has the same mission as its foundation: to help people put knowledge to work. To meet and support the needs of local people and communities, county faculty and staff involve local residents in developing and leading specific programs and activities.
Part of the National Cooperative Extension System
With more than 3,000 county offices in the USA, the National Cooperative Extension System is the local front door for many citizens to their state land-grant institutions. All universities engage in research and teaching, but the nation’s more than 100 land-grant colleges and universities including WVU, have another critical mission: Extension. Extension means reaching out, and along with teaching and research land-grant institutions extend their resources, solving public needs with college or university resources through local programs.
