     Families are the heart of any community, and educational programs serving the needs of Texas' Youth and families are at the heart of Texas AgriLife Extension work.

     The Extension "learning-by-doing" method has a history of success in providing individuals and families with the research-based knowledge they need for health, financial security and self-sufficiency.

      The Family and Consumer Sciences program reaches out to families in rural, urban and suburban communities with education for building successful life skills, enhancing nutrition and food safety, promoting healthy lifestyles, increasing self-sufficiency, strengthening the volunteer workforce and developing future leaders.

      Extension Family and Consumer Sciences educational programs provide Texans the information they need to handle life changes, bring them together with friends and neighbors who share their interests and empower them to make positive changes for themselves and their families.  Extension Family and Consumer Sciences programs are changing Texas by changing families -- for the better.
