Shaping Our Future in Urban Communities
University of Illinois Extension works wherever there are educational needs in urban, suburban, and rural locations. Our outreach extends across Illinois to youth and adults, families, communities, businesses, industries, and other organizations. Extension continues its historic commitment to rural communities, families, and businesses. But just as Illinois has changed, so has Extension changed to meet the needs of all people.

Extension provides education and information focused on addressing environmental, economic, and societal issues in the following program areas:
