Extension Education
What Is Extension Education
Extension Education focuses on “extending” university knowledge and resources to communities. Extension offices serve as a community-based education hub where Extension professionals learn about their local community needs and help develop educational programs to address them. Common initiatives are:
- Agriculture and Natural Resource Management
- Horticulture
- Youth Development
- Family Consumer Sciences
- Nutrition
- Volunteer Development
- Rural Community Development and Economics
