Providing continuing education opportunities for Extension Master Gardeners and Vermont Master Composters is critical to ensure that our volunteers have the most recent science-based gardening information to best assist gardeners in our communities. Continuing education is offered online through webinars and short courses as well as in-person at workshops, seminars, field days and other gatherings organized by our office as well as our local EMG Chapters. Chapter activities are also great opportunities to connect with other volunteers and so we highly encourage volunteers to attend these offerings.

• Certified Extension Master Gardeners may earn up to 5 hours in continuing education annually. 
• Certified Vermont Master Composters may earn up to 1 hour in continuing education annually. 
• EMG and VMC interns do not earn continuing education hours as they have recently received significant education through their completed coursework.
