Community Educational Outreach Service (CEOS)

The primary purpose of CEOS clubs is education. The basis for its existence is the desire of people to improve the quality of their living, to find and live the “good life”, to inspire families and individual citizens to make life long learning a great adventure as they advance toward enriched living in the home and in the enlarged community. Other purposes are to further strengthen, develop, coordinate, and extend adult education and to improve the quality of life in cooperation with the Extension Service and to increase knowledge and understanding. The person who continues education and who seek ever broadening horizons is best satisfied and fulfilled in serving the family and community. Click here to visit the the WVU CEOS home page.

Family Nutrition Program (FNP) Family Nutrition Programs logo

The West Virginia Family Nutrition Program (FNP) is a statewide outreach program which focuses on nutrition, food, and physical activity through multiple projects, community-based initiatives and key partnerships. FNP prioritizes accountability and documents its impact on related behaviors of West Virginia’s limited resource families. As a visible and critical part of WVU and WVU Extension Service, we maintain a strong research base and experiential, facilitative approach to delivering information to our focus audience. The FNP serves youth audiences in 31 West Virginia counties. Click here to visit the West Virginia FNP home page.
