The NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ program is a statewide network of volunteers and educators working in N.C. Cooperative Extension county centers and on NC State’s campus. Through education and outreach, we connect people with the benefits of gardening and empower North Carolinians to cultivate healthy plants, landscapes, ecosystems, and communities. As the NC State Extension Master Gardener program assistant, I support our program mission and execution at the state level. My responsibilities include coordinating and educating local Extension agents, developing and training on program policies, supporting statewide continuing ed opportunities for EMG volunteers, promoting the EMG program and communicating our impacts, and assisting in the recognition of EMG volunteers for their work, as well donors who support our endowment.
