Cooperative Extension provides non-formal education and learning opportunities to people throughout the United States—serving farmers and rural communities as well as those in urban areas. In Rhode Island, we strive to reach every corner of the state, delivering science-based information through our educational programs and services to help people make informed decisions in their daily lives.

To highlight the breadth of our impact, we’ve developed a new ArcGIS map dashboard showcasing the many programs offered by URI Cooperative Extension and the number of cities and towns we reach. Check it out!

The University of Rhode Island occupies the traditional stomping ground of the Narragansett Nation and the Niantic People. We honor and respect the enduring and continuing relationship between the Indigenous people and this land by teaching and learning more about their history and present-day communities, and by becoming stewards of the land we, too, inhabit.
