ABOUT OUTAGAMIE COUNTY COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
The mission of Outagamie County Cooperative Extension is connecting people to university knowledge they can use. |
By connecting county residents to up-to-date, objective, practical, research-based knowledge, we help them grow, change and prosper. They become more self-sufficient, lead healthier and safer lives, form strong and nurturing families, and thrive economically. Our primary customers are the people who live and work in Outagamie County, both adults and youth. We make a special effort to reach those who are traditionally underserved including minorities, low-income families, and people with disabilities. Our customers value high-quality, low-cost educational opportunities that emphasize practical skills they can put to use immediately. |
