Did you know that the Perry County Extension office is a "branch office" of The Ohio State University? The Ohio State University Extension is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, The Ohio State University, and Perry County Commissioners. Our Perry County Office is your front door to The Ohio State University.

We are the world's largest nonformal educational system. Our practical educational programs combine the needs of local citizens and communities, with new research and technical information.

A few areas of focus are agriculture, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences, and community development. These programs are continuously being evaluated and updated to meet the changing needs and issues facing our community.

Overall, Extension's mission is to help improve and strengthen the lives of Ohioans and we want to start right here in Perry County. We have answers for communities and individuals. Our clients are Ohioans - rural, urban, all ages, sizes and races. Our clients are YOU!
