All About Family & Consumer Sciences
The Family and Consumer Sciences Department focuses on empowering families to balance the demands of life. We interpret knowledge developed at The Ohio State University amd other land-grant universities and are the ones who teach Franklin County citizens to use critical thinking skills to identify and solve problems.
Educational programs are made possible through financial support from the Franklin County Commissioners, State and Federal Government. Our educational purpose is to provide citizens with current information to make living in Central Ohio better for individuals, families, and communities in Franklin County.
