About Extension

Last modified 2008-01-08 08:45
Ohio State University Extension brings the knowledge of the university to your door. We fulfill the land-grant mission of Ohio State University by interpreting knowledge and research developed by the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Ohio State and other land-grant universities, so that Ohioans can use the scientifically based information to better their lives, businesses and communities.

No matter which county you visit, you can find people who are helped by the four major OSU Extension program areas:

- Family & Consumer Sciences
- 4-H Youth Development
- Community Development
- Agriculture & Natural Resources


Engaging people to strengthen their lives and communities through research-based educational programming.

OSU Extension is a dynamic educational entity that partners with individuals, families, communities, business and industry, and organizations to strengthen the lives of Ohioans. As Extension educators, we:

-Focus on critical economic, environmental, leadership, and youth and family issues.
-Engage people in lifelong learning.
-Apply knowledge and practical research to the diverse needs and interests of Ohioans in rural, suburban, and urban communities.
-Extend resources of The Ohio State University.
-Recruit and develop volunteers to multiply Extension's efforts while developing their leadership potential.
-Enhance teamwork through networking and connectedness.
-Link youth, family, and community needs to scholars in Ohio and nationwide.
-Teach with cutting-edge strategies using new technologies and approaches.
