Welcome to the UGA Family and Consumer Sciences Cooperative Extension!

This is the new version of the Cooperative Extension website. You may still access the previous website. You may also visit help and tips for the new site.

Learning for Life

Our programs place non-biased, research-based information at your fingertips for the many facets of your life, including food preservation, parenting, personal financial management, and healthy eating habits. In addition to the information in this website, County agents and specialists throughout the state are available to help you and answer your questions. You may email or call 1-800-ASK-UGA1 for quick assistance.

Featured Programs

My Medicare Matters™

State, federal and private benefit programs may help you cover your prescription drug costs. BenefitsCheckUp® and My Medicare Matters™ can help you identify a Medicare D strategy that suits your needs. Completing a BenefitsCheckUp® questionnaire online only takes a few minutes. It's FREE and your answers are confidential. (More info).

Natural Gas Education Program

The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, the Georgia Public Service Commission, Atlanta Gas Light and the Gas Marketer Industry work together to provide consumer education for natural gas customers in Georgia. We have formed a customer education program with 10 UGA Extension Natural Gas Educators to assist Georgians in all areas related to natural gas.

ServSafe® Workshops

FACS Cooperative Extension county-based educators are dedicated to providing workshops that enable food managers and staff to prepare and serve food in a clean and safe environment. They teach ServSafe® workshops in various locations throughout the state, and a listing of current offerings can be found on our Extension ServSafe® website.
