About Extension

We are the outreach arm for The Ohio State University and it is our job to make the resources of The University available to all of the citizens of Hamilton County.

Did you know that the Hamilton County Extension office is a "branch office of Ohio State University? The Ohio State University Extension is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, The Ohio State University, and Hamilton County Commissioners. Our Hamilton 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, environment and leadership. 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 Hamilton County. We have answers for communities and individuals. Our clients are Ohioans - rural, urban, all ages, sizes and races. Our clients are YOU.

Please feel free to contact us at any time.
We look forward to hearing from you
