Cooperative Extension

The primary mission of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service Currituck County Center is to disseminate research-based information among the citizens of the county. The local office is part of a state-wide network. Offices are located in each of the 100 counties with a staff of trained professionals who can help families, businesses, community groups, and individuals deal with the problems facing them today. Educational programs are offered in the areas of Agriculture, Family and Consumer Education, 4-H and Youth Development, Community and Rural Development.

Extension Service is an arm of the State's two land-grant universities -- North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T University. Information is provided in a number of convenient ways. For the quick questions, answers are as close as the telephone. Workshops, special interest classes and seminars are offered each month. One-on-one help is available by appointment. Newsletters, bulletins, and leaflets are available.

The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service is located at 120 Community Way, Barco, NC
