Welcome to the Virginia Cooperative Extension in Warren County page! Here's a little bit about who we are:

Virginia Cooperative Extension was established in 1914 and is a partnership between Virginia’s two land grant universities: Virginia Tech and Virginia State University. Here in Warren County our three Extension Agents and volunteers work to assist farmers, empower youth, guide responsible resource management, and advance the wellbeing of all Virginians through research-based education and community engagement. We put Virginia Tech and Virginia State University knowledge into action and find real solutions for our local constituents in Warren County.

Our office has a 4-H Youth Development Agent, an Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent, a Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, and an Administrative Fiscal Assistant. We are here to help you in whatever way we can and look forward to hearing from you!
