Education Makes a Difference!

Virginia Cooperative Extension is a cooperation of local, state and federal governments in partnership with tens of thousands of citizens. Our programs strengthen families and help protect the environment. Program content is based on the research conducted at the state's two land-grant universities: Virginia Tech and Virginia State University. Using feedback from the community, local extension offices design, implement and evaluate Cooperative Extension's programs.

Virginia Cooperative Extension was established through the Smith and Lever Act of 1914. The intent of this legislation was to support communities with demonstration of best practices and information for agricultural producers and their families through the family and consumer science and 4-H programs. As communities have become more urban and suburban in nature, VCE-Prince William's programs have evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of individuals in our community.

Educational programs are designed to:

  • Enable families to communicate effectively and better manage resources;
  • Help youth become self-directing, contributing and productive members of society;
  • Improve the impact of urban horticulture on the environment.
