The University of Minnesota Extension Service has a rich history
of serving the needs of Minnesotans. Since 1909, Extension has
been in Minnesota communities, working with individuals, organizations
and agencies to put the University's research and resources to
work for Minnesota citizens.
Throughout the years, our work has changed in order to continue
to respond to the changing needs of Minnesota. Wars, the farm
crisis, floods, tornados, changes in populations, youth at risk,
all have influenced the focus of Extension's work. Yet, through
it all, our mission of connecting community needs and University
resources has remained constant.
