Connecting Communities
Extension's vast array of programs and partnerships revolve around a common concept: connecting communities.
Rural and urban, in-person and online. From social channels and video series to local volunteers and trusted publications. We meet people where they are.
Everyday Solutions for Everyday Lives
NC State Extension's Homegrown video series connects younger generations of North Carolinians with Extension and the importance of agriculture. In 2023, viewers watched over 3,000 hours of Homegrown videos, while viewing the videos more than 100,000 times.
Learn. Grow. Share.
The NC State Extension Master Gardener (EMG) program provides trusted gardening knowledge to help North Carolinians cultivate healthy plants, landscapes and communities.
EMG is offered in 75 of Extension’s 101 local centers. The program features nearly 4,000 volunteers statewide, who donated more than $7 million in time and services in 2023.
Publications Promote Prosperity
NC State Extension publications provide practical guidance, backed by science, on a wide array of topics.
Extension produced or updated 78 numbered publications this past year, while another 198 factsheets were developed or updated independently by specialists.
Nearly 3,000 publications are available on our website at no cost.
