Comal County

Welcome to Comal County!
The purpose of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Comal County is to educate residents in agriculture, environmental stewardship, family and consumer sciences, health, youth and adult life skills, human capital and leadership, and community economic development.
We are committed to excellence and adhere to strong Extension principles including: ensuring that all residents have access to educational programs; continuing to have education as its primary mission; valuing the principles of citizens and community involvement, learning and volunteerism; emphasizing preventive education; evaluating programs and adapting accordingly; and emphasizing the concept of “helping people to help themselves.”
We educate residents on improving their health, safety, productivity, and well-being; improving environmental stewardship and natural resources; contributing to their economic security and prosperity; making residents responsible, productive, and self-motivated youth and adults.
Mission: To provide quality, relevant outreach and continuing education programs and services to the people of Comal County.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service leverages the reach of its health and nutrition programs through Master Wellness Volunteers. Master Wellness Volunteers receive 40 hours of education and training related to health, nutrition, and food safety, among other topics, and serve a 40-hour internship alongside their local County Extension Agent. Once certified, Master Wellness Volunteers provide outreach and education with and through their local County Extension Agent to help Texans better their lives.
Volunteer opportunities are diverse and may include giving presentations for local community groups, assisting with healthy cooking demonstrations, distributing information at health fairs, working with schools and after-school programs, and data entry. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service also encourages Master Wellness Volunteers to help identify issues, needs, and program priorities based on their experience and connections with the community. Previous health or wellness training is not required but an interest in living healthfully, and helping others do the same, is.
