What is Extension?
Education Everywhere For Everyone
Why should you choose Extension?
Alexis Graham
4-H Development Educator
If you have several passions and have a hard time narrowing it down, choose Extension. If you are interested in teaching, but unsure about being in a classroom daily and want an alternative option, choose Extension. If you want to witness people succeed because of the information, education and support you provided for them, choose Extension.

Beef Nutrition Extension Specialist
Extension is a very rewarding career for people that have a service mentality and find fulfillment in helping others. I have made connections across all walks of life in my Extension career and many of those connections have become friends.
JJ Jones
Extension Area Economics Specialist
Extension will be one of the most fulfilling, gratifying, and frustrating jobs you will ever have. You get to work with a myriad of different people and producers. You will have opportunities to go places and see things that other jobs can’t offer. Extension will take you as far as you want to go as long as you are willing to put in the effort.
Heather Winn
Extension Educator
I enjoy teaching people life skills that will help them now and in the future. Do what you love and love what you do. I have worked for extension for 28 years and wouldn’t change my career if I could do it over again.
