Addressing community needs is at the forefront of their work. Through outreach and collaboration, CSU Extension branches are able to provide educational programs sponsored by the college. These programs are designed specifically for each branch to meet the needs of the communities it serves.  

Mission

To provide information and education, and encourage the application of research-based knowledge in response to local, state, and national issues affecting individuals, youth, families, agricultural enterprises, and communities of Colorado. 

We are part of the land-grant university system nationwide. We draw from the University’s research-based resources to strengthen community partnerships, boost the economy, engage families and youth, and enhance our quality of life. 

We provide the extensive knowledge, research capabilities and resources of this premier land grant university to Coloradans from all walks of life. 

Extension staff throughout the state are dedicated to serving current and future needs of Coloradans by providing educational information and programs that safeguard health, increase livelihood, and enhance well-being. 

Designed to meet the unique needs of each of Colorado’s 64 counties. Colorado State University Extension offers a wide variety of programs and educational classes.
