Our mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Community needs drive our work. Our mission is 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are part of the land-grant university system nationwide. We draw from the University\u2019s research-based resources to strengthen community partnerships, boost the economy, engage families and youth, and enhance our quality of life. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
