University of Illinois Extension Office of Christian, Jersey, Macoupin, and Montgomery Counties offers more than just resources. 

Extension Director Amanda Cole is proud of their community involvement. She’s returning to her role as director after a hiatus.

She’s excited to present plant care courses in the near future. 

Cole makes her pitch for youth to join 4-H. 

Speaking of youth, the extension office is honoring Black History Month with an arts competition. 

Youth can either draw a picture or draft a piece of creative writing.
