Supporting leadership and civic engagement program alumni

Extension strengthens the leadership and civic engagement skills of community members across Minnesota. Our educators have guided thousands of participants through their leadership journey.

We strive to support alumni and the difference they make in their communities.

— Ben Thompson

I will stop saying, "I can't" or "I'm not."
