Your community payback is 100 hours over the course of  2 years. 18 of those hours must be spent in plant clinics. You will start working with MG committees while you are in training . The hours you work during training count toward your 100 payback hours. It is easy and fun full filling this payback requirement.

You will be using an online course provided by WSU  ($70 to WSU) which you do on your own time each week. We will supplement this training with  classroom time ($120 to WSU Jefferson Co Extension) in labs, field trip and group activities. There will be a balance between self-study/computer time and hands-on activities in the classroom time.

Fast computer ( no dial-up) to web access  with Firefox as the browser is necessary for compatibility. WSU Jefferson will provide computer lab time for anyone who does not have a computer at home. Availability of computer lab hours TBA.
