Collapse ▲N.C. Cooperative Extension has offices in every county across the state, including our most urban counties. Urban Extension staff and volunteers work with local government, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, residents, and others to design and implement strategies that improve quality of life for all community members. Because there are so many different organizations and entities working in urban areas, Extension often partners or collaborates with others to achieve its goals.
Urban Extension efforts are focused on many of the same issue areas as rural communities– supporting agriculture, horticulture, conservation, and environmental protection, nutrition and health, as well as a variety of consumer, youth, and economic concerns.
N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center
While all of Extension’s work falls within these general focus areas, each Cooperative Extension Center in North Carolina strives to meet the unique needs of the community in which it is based. The strategies that Extension employs are designed to be responsive to the unique characteristics of a community, including its population, history, culture, demographics, geography, and climate. For this reason, programs and strategies may look different as you travel from place to place across the state, and particularly as you travel from rural to urban areas of North Carolina.
