Family and Community Health Sciences faculty work to improve the quality of life of people of all ages. We educate people to minimize or prevent family, work, and consumer problems. We focus on making life better in the areas of nutrition, diet and health, food safety, family financial and resource management, human development at all ages, and leadership development. We provide unbiased, research-based information and strategies to help you enjoy life and strengthen your community.

New Educator Welcome

I am pleased to inform you that I have been appointed the Family & Community Health Sciences Educator for Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Atlantic County!  Over the next few months I will be visiting various agencies and community groups to better understand how our department can meet the needs of our citizens. If you have questions or would like to discuss ways in which we can collaborate on projects, please don’t hesitate to call our office.

There are several informational sessions that are available to the general public, organizations, agencies, senior citizens, parent groups, county employees, health professionals, and for schools and their faculty. Programs can be scheduled at your facility or ours! See the Community Programs to Schedule list that follows for program details.

I am looking forward to meeting you soon!
