About Us

Congress established Cooperative Extension in 1914 as a partnership among federal, state, and local governments.

  • Extension is an educational branch of USDA, the land grant universities and county governments.
  • Extension's mission is to help people to improve the quality of their lives by providing research-based information, and informal educational opportunities focused on individual, family, and community needs.

Extension extends the Universities to you.

Extension...

  • operates in every U.S. state, linking university professors to local adult educators (Extension Agents) in each of America's 3000 counties.
  • is often cited as the premier example of a successful technology-transfer organization.
  • takes research-based knowledge from the university and makes it usable by the public. This parenting newsletter project is one example of how we do this.
