Program Overview

The Extension Master Food Volunteer (EMFV) program provides citizens with an opportunity to continue the work of N.C. Cooperative Extension by providing unbiased, research-based information on food systems, cooking, and food safety to our community. Under the guidance of Lee County Extension Agents, volunteers will complete a 30-hour training program to become Extension Master Food Volunteers. After program completion, volunteers will complete 30 hours of community service, which includes shadowing the supervising agent.
