Extension programs target diverse youth, family, and community needs including effective parenting, violence prevention, resource management, responsible decision making, leadership and access to community support systems.

Within program areas, reporting categories focus on specific issues, topics, crops or animal products. Working groups plan, implement, and evaluate projects and activities within the reporting category. They are led by "coordinators", which may be the State Extension Specialist or another Extension faculty member with expertise in that area.

Campus-based partners include the Department of Nutritional Sciences and the School of Family and Consumer Sciences.
