>>Andrea Scarrow, UGA Extension Program Development Coordinator: Well UGA Extension for me is going back
to my grass roots of when I returned to
my hometown about in 2005 I connected
with my Extension office and it was
actually a County agent there at the
Extension office who showed me all of
the wonderful things that Extension has
to offer.
We're helping families and individuals
on so many issues that are relevant to
making life better. It might be foods and
nutrition.  It might be teaching a food
safety class. It might be helping a
community plant a community garden.
It might be helping folks increase their
access to physical activity in a
community or it might be helping a
family prepare their income taxes and
get back a refund that they would have
not otherwise received. This is one of
the best jobs in the world.  I've always
described myself as a people helper,
that's what I'm passionate about and if
that's how you describe yourself, then
Extension is the best job in the world.
