Charlotte County extension office reports new grants, programs and plans to hire 4‑H agent
Summary
Extension office staff told the board they ran roughly 30 programs this year, launched a quarterly newsletter and secured two grants (about $74,000 and about $60,000). They said a 4‑H agent hire is expected by mid‑January to restore youth programming.
An extension office representative summarized outreach and programming accomplishments for the year and asked supervisors to continue supporting county partnerships.
"We were able to secure 2 new grants this year that I worked closely with, and 1 was for 74,000," the presenter said, adding the other grant was for "right around 60,000." The office said it offered about 30 programs this year, worked with school visits and community partners, and is publishing a quarterly newsletter to amplify outreach.
The extension noted it has been operating without a 4‑H agent but is in the process of hiring one and expects to have the position filled by the middle of January to resume youth programming with schools. Staff also highlighted partnerships with the Southside Virginia Fruit and Vegetable Association and master gardener training programs.
Board members thanked extension staff for the work and the report; no formal action was taken.
