Community Engagement
Extension volunteers and groups help expand the county program by reaching underserved groups and individuals. Seeking new ways to involve extension leaders and volunteers in the county program and community could help build on efforts advocating for extension programs.
A stronger extension leadership base will lead to greater advocacy for the county extension program in the community.
These changes will result in one or more of the following:

- Extension volunteers will enhance skills related to leadership and working in in groups.
Program participants will identify, plan, and evaluate educational programs. Volunteers will advocate for and promote extension programs in the community.
