Extension means “reaching out,” putting us in all 15 counties and on 5 tribal reservations, connecting them to University of Arizona research and resources. This connection to research-backed knowledge helps people solve problems, adapt to change, develop new skills and carry innovations forward into practice.
- Mission: To engage with people through applied research and education to improve lives, families, communities, the environment and economies in Arizona and beyond.
- Vision: To be a vital national leader in creating and applying knowledge to help people build thriving, sustainable lives, communities and economies.
Cooperative Extension is one of the pillars of The University of Arizona’s Division of Agriculture, Life & Veterinary Sciences & Cooperative Extension. We are about “Improving Lives, Communities and the Economy” by serving as a statewide network of knowledgeable faculty and staff that provides lifelong educational programs for all Arizonans. We are part of a nationwide educational network of scientists and educators who help people solve problems and put knowledge to use. Arizona Cooperative Extension provides a link between the university and the citizens of this state.
