Cooperative Extension provides non-formal education and learning opportunities to people throughout the United States\u2014serving 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To highlight the breadth of our impact, we\u2019ve developed a new ArcGIS map dashboard<\/a><\/strong> showcasing the many programs offered by URI Cooperative Extension and the number of cities and towns we reach. Check it out!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
