Grant funds have bemused <br />to hire an Extension Program Assistant that works out of the Indian River County Agricultural Extension office. <br />This program Assistant provides support responsibilities for Indian River county involvement in the project. <br />The original two-year grant provided funds for a program assistant for the second year of the two-year <br />agreement. A multi -county agent has Meted the program development tasks outlined for the project. The <br />County Extension Director continues to provide leadership to the county FYN program, but requires the <br />hued support of a program assistant within Indian River County. The current Program Assistant position <br />vacancy has slowed down the rate of progress of the project due to the other responsibilities expected of the <br />Director.
