Public Value Statements

Extension Public Value Statements were created to promote exactly as the name implies…the “public value” of Cooperative Extension. Moreover, our goal is to achieve a higher level of impact among audiences broader than only those we are currently reaching. The aim is for those who are not current users/clientele to gather a better sense of what we do and to see that we are a relevant organization. Each statement is heavily vetted by a committee of Specialists, Agents, and Marketing professionals within Kentucky Cooperative Extension. The documents are then posted online and professionally printed for distribution.
