Community Development
The University of Wisconsin-Extension has a strong tradition of working in all 72 counties throughout the state in a range of programs—most often associated with agriculture and 4-H. The roots of the organization started with the soil and remain deeply ‘rooted’ across Wisconsin communities. What helped your UW-Extension thrive over the past 100 years is that it has served as a bridge between community needs and university research—and that remains true today although UW-Extension programming has moved far beyond the fields–through Community Development program areas.
