Our people are our strength and we care about the communities we serve. Our impact rests on their search for knowledge, and the lengths they’ll go to share it. You’ll find Extension agents constantly moving within their counties to train and bring the latest research to local people and businesses. And you’ll find local volunteers putting in the hours to master their passions and serve their communities. With your support today, we can equip the people of the commonwealth with the knowledge, skills, and personal and social empowerment to thrive in the face of issues that affect their daily lives.
