Family and Consumer Science Agents use research-based education to help people in the community to gain knowledge and develop confidence in making good decisions in several different content areas:
Family
Food
Health
Home
Money
We link resources from the university to community members in all 95 counties across Tennessee. With the help of the University faculty, we are working to address important issues facing communities that threaten the health, safety and well-being of individuals, families and communities. The goal of Family and Consumer Sciences is to develop strong families, which will ultimately lead to a strong community.
