Help Bring UF/IFAS Extension Programs to Palm Bay—Share Your Needs in This Quick Survey
Palm Bay residents: Take the official survey to shape new UF/IFAS community classes and programs near you.

Are you interested in high-quality educational classes on gardening, nutrition, youth programs, and more—right here in Palm Bay? Your voice is essential!
Palm Bay’s Recreation Department is partnering with the University of Florida’s IFAS Extension to bring their renowned education and workshops to our city for the first time. Right now, most UF/IFAS classes are held in Cocoa, leaving many residents in southern Brevard without easy access.
Now, you can help determine which classes and programs will come to Palm Bay—just by taking a quick survey.
“The Recreation Department is gathering input from the community to help shape our future class offerings! Staff met with representatives from the UF/IFAS Extension office to begin the process of bringing their programs into Palm Bay and into our centers.
Your help to encourage participation in the survey is greatly appreciated. It makes a big difference in reaching more people and getting valuable feedback!”
— Emily Der, Palm Bay Recreation Department
