King William County Extension, an outreach program of Virginia Tech and Virginia State Universities, has staff members available to serve residents’ needs in the areas of agriculture and natural resources, farm business management, family and consumer sciences, foods and nutrition, and youth development.
The youth development education program of Virginia Cooperative Extension, 4-H is rich with learning experiences in which young people partner with caring adults and volunteers in a fellowship unlike any other program available to youth today. Through 4-H, young people are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that emphasize 4-H's "learning by doing" philosophy of youth development.
