It’s Extension Week in Alabama to promote the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the resources it provides for every stage and corner of life in every county in Alabama. Alabama Cooperative Extension Systems agents will tell you the work they do may be the best kept secret in the state — and this week is about letting that secret out of the bag!
From school classrooms and college campuses to the career field, family life and retirement, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System provides educational opportunities for every stage of life. Every year, Alabama Extension staff coordinate more than 6,000 educational events in cities and towns across the state.
“Thanks to Alabama Extension, people are connected with practical, research‑based solutions that make a difference in their lives,” Alabama Extension Director Eve Brantley said. “Alabama Extension Week gives us an opportunity to shine a light on the incredible work happening every day through our agents, specialists, and county teams. I hope residents will take this week to reach out, get to know their local Extension office, and discover all the ways we are here to support them.”
Alabama Extension also reaches more than 110,000 students through its youth leadership development program, Alabama 4-H. From April 12-18, county directors, agents and specialists with Alabama Extension at Auburn and Alabama A&M Universities will host numerous events in their communities as part of the celebration. Additionally, special Extension events will take place on the campuses of Auburn and Alabama A&M, plus agents and specialists will lead 14 online webinars.
