Cooperative Extensions

Cooperative Extensions are government-funded programs that connect universities with local communities to provide practical knowledge and resources. They offer research-based information on topics like agriculture, health, and home gardening to help individuals and communities improve their well-being. Staff members collaborate with local residents, organizations, and governments to address specific local needs, offering education, training, and technical assistance. Essentially, they serve as a bridge that brings university expertise directly to everyday life, promoting informed decisions and healthier, more resilient communities.
