Collapse ▲Are you interested in becoming an Extension Master Gardener℠ (EMG) volunteer? Do you want to give back to your community and help other gardeners succeed? Master Gardener Volunteers are an essential component of NC State Extension and assist local county extension agents in various aspects of home horticulture: from answering gardening questions to becoming involved with teaching about gardening. EMG volunteers work with NC State Extension to provide unbiased, science-based information on sustainable garden, lawn and landscape practices to the residents of the local community.
To become an EMG volunteer in Yancey County, volunteers must complete an intensive (but fun) hands-on training program, pass an exam and complete a 40 hour internship with N.C. Cooperative Extension of Yancey County. N.C. Cooperative Extension, Yancey County Center will be conducting the next EMG initial training for new volunteers beginning in August. The training is made up of 10 sessions. Each training session will begin at 9 a.m. There is a $55 cost for new volunteers that need to complete initial training to become NC State Extension Master GardenerSM Volunteers.
