Biographical / Historical
NDSU Extension extends education to North Dakota residents of all ages and walks of life. You’ll find us at work in your county, at Research Extension Centers and at the main campus of North Dakota State University. As North Dakotans work to improve their lives, we’re there to help. Our efforts have a special emphasis on strengthening agriculture and developing the potential of youth, adults and communities and are funded by county, state and federal government, and grants and contracts.
There is a rich history of extending North Dakota’s land-grant university. Federal legislation established Extension in 1914, but years before that our predecessors were extending education through lectures, institutes, tours, fairs and demonstrations.
The mission of NDSU Extension is to empower North Dakotans to improve their lives and communities through science-based education. NDSU Extension believes the following: lifelong learning through transformational education; all people belong and deserve respect; stakeholder input to guide program development; science-based, locally relevant information; the value of partners and collaboration.
4-H provides hands-on, real life experiences through projects, activities, and events. Our program is available to all youth and offered in every county in North Dakota. 4-H is the largest and the only researched based youth organization in the state and is conducted by North Dakota State University Extension. 4-H Youth Development education creates supportive learning environments for all youth and adults to reach their full potential as capable, competent and caring citizens.
In support of this mission, NDSU Extension Service 4-H Youth Development programs will: reach out to all segments of our diverse population; provide experiential learning and opportunities to develop skills and values that benefit youth throughout life; foster leadership and volunteerism in youth and adults; strengthen families and communities; use science and researched based knowledge and the land grant university system; build internal and external partnerships for programming and funding.
