To be resourceful and responsible citizens of the community it is vital to acquire basic life skills. The county extension offices can play a critical role in teaching adults and youth the basic life skills they need for success. Through the efforts of extension agents, program assistants, and volunteers local citizens of the community are engaged, educated, and empowered to understand the soft and hard life skills of everyday living.
Muhlenberg County's youth and adults strengthen their abilities to be resourceful citizens and live healthy lifestyles.
