About Community Development
Community development programs are part of all program areas in the Extension Office. Leadership training, legislative information and support, are areas that 4-H, Agriculture, and Family & Consumer Sciences work with. 4-H trains youth in leadership skills and gives them the opportunity to visit with legislators and tell about their experiences. The Agriculture and FCS program assists adults in leadership development and gives them opportunities to develop skills.
