Who We Are

UF/IFAS Extension in Seminole County is part of a group of land‑grant universities across the country. These universities share research-based, unbiased information with people in their communities. In Florida, this work is led by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS).

Seminole County Extension connects the university and local community. We work with UF/IFAS Research and Education Centers to provide hands-on training for both adults and youth.

In 2014, UF/IFAS Extension celebrated 100 years of service. This marked the anniversary of the Smith-Lever Act, which created the Cooperative Extension Service. You can learn more about our history and how Extension began.

Seminole County Extension offers helpful, real-life information. We teach healthy eating, gardening, money management, and more. We also help young people build leadership skills and confidence.
